A little bit about me

I'm a mom of two amazing kids and have been married to my husband for nearly 20 years. My son is 15 and my daughter is 12. As the oldest of five children, I grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, and started babysitting at age 12. Between caring for my siblings, raising my own children, and working with kids throughout my life, I have decades of experience with children of all ages.
I genuinely love being around kids and have always felt called to teach, encourage, and support them. While I followed my passion for photography and still run my portrait business, working with children has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my life.
I'm looking for an opportunity to support one family in a meaningful way. I'm organized, dependable, and enjoy creating a clean, well-run home. I love preparing fresh snacks, helping with daily routines, and making life easier for busy parents. Most importantly, I love engaging with kids, having fun, and building positive relationships with them.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, puzzles, coloring, playing games of their choice, hide and seek, board games, card games ... you name it! I subscribe to the games magazine, and I'm good at video games ... or willing to learn! Haha!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Supporting the family in any way I can and being an advocate for the kids, making sure they know they are safe, supported, and loved.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with kids on the autism spectrum, learning disabilities, and non verbal. I know that patience and maintaining consistency is really important. I'm willing to learn and abide by the program in any family. Whatever is best and safe for the child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many! But I truly love watching kids learn something new and grasp it, then realize they got it!! Witnessing growth of any kind is beautiful and I love helping instill that confidence in kids. I am thankful to see that every day in my own children, at my previous nanny jobs, while working at Ventura Charter School, and often during portrait sessions, it's just the best!
