A little bit about me

I’m a 25+ career nanny who is a strong child and family advocate. I’m looking to find a family I can grow with long term. My favorite age group is infant-5 but I enjoy all ages.
I am active and love to be outdoors. I seek to help family’s achieve their personal and professional goals by acting as strong support system and child rearing guide using my extensive experience and each family’s unique lifestyle and values. Let’s chat and see if we are a good match!

Certifications in:
*safe sleep
*CPR/First aid
*chid sexual abuse prevention
*state registered CPST
(Child passenger safety technician)

If you see things that aren’t fit for your family, I would recommend you investigate and ask questions some things are negotiable and if you are looking for a professional, responsible, knowledgeable nanny, you will find that in me! Childcare and family support is my passion!

* I have also held positions as Family assistant and Household manager and am interested in those as well.

Hi! I’m a school-based occupational therapist who works with kids and loves creating fun, engaging environments that support their growth and independence. I have experience working with children with a wide range of needs, especially around sensory regulation, attention, and fine motor skills.
