A little bit about me

I am the oldest daughter of four, and the eldest cousin in my extended family-- I've been taking care of kids of all ages since I was old enough to take care of myself. I absolutely love kids and I empathize strongly with that age old saying, "It takes a village." As a nanny, my priority will be, not only the assured safety and happiness of your children, but your peace of mind. Nothing is more important to me than knowing that your baby is cared for.
I graduated from Lane Tech College Prep with a 4.5 GPA and studied nursing at a private liberal arts college in Minnesota for a year. In the past, I've worked at an art gallery, completing commissioned paintings, and more recently in kitchens on St. Olaf College campus. I have a big heart, a world of patience and an innate knack for care-giving!
