A little bit about me

Seven years ago I started caring for my great nephew full time from the age of 9 months until he was 6 years old. This was such a rewarding experience that I have continued being a nanny.

Currently, I care for several children, ages 5 months to 8 years.

I also volunteer at my church in the children's division for ages newborn to 6 years.

I have past experience as a physical therapist and nationally board certified health and wellness coach.

I enjoy building nurturing relationships with children and relish the simple joys of life right along with them.

My absolute favorite activity is exploring the outdoors with children. I also enjoy reading to them, singing simple songs and planning activities that encourage creativity and inquisitiveness.

My character strengths include being attentive, responsible, organized, self-motivated and leadership.

My rate is $27-32 depending on how many children and/or far I have to travel.

"She is kind and considerate. Gentle with children and is an excellent vegan cook. She has a strong work ethic and is very reliable. She is attentive to details and has a sincerity about her that my kids pick up - She engages the kids in her work when it is safe and they are interested. She has been helping us mainly by cooking and cleaning on Sundays while my wife works 14 hours in the hospital. I need help cooking and cleaning for the week - it's just too much right now with two kids under two and one that is seven. I strongly recommend her."
