A little bit about me

I’m a Mizzou Journalism grad, a cancer survivor, and a 'Tiger Tía' with over 10 years of experience providing high-energy, reliable care. My background is a unique blend of project management and a deep-rooted passion for community advocacy. Whether I’m managing a brand strategy or navigating a busy household, my focus is always on the 'why'—understanding each child’s unique perspective to help them thrive.

I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent kids and adults. My approach uses 'scenario mapping' to anticipate needs before they arise, creating a calm, 'agile' environment where daily routines feel smooth and empowering. From managing infant milestones to coaching adults with intellectual disabilities, I take pride in being the 'trusted advisor' families can call for everything from date nights to week-long vacations.

I’m a firm believer that life is an adventure, and I’m here to make sure your kids feel confident, supported, and ready for whatever the day brings!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My background bridges the gap between high-level logistics and hands-on care. Beyond traditional nannying for infants and toddlers, I serve as a Job Coach and Community Living Support Specialist for neurodivergent individuals. I have extensive experience in 'Full-Takeover' care, managing 24/7 household operations for up to a week at a time. My history also includes serving as a teacher’s aide for inclusive classrooms and volunteering with the Boys & Girls Club.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I specialize in 'Developmental Adventures.' For infants, this means sensory-rich floor time and milestone tracking. For school-aged kids, I love 'active mentorship'—teaching the resilience of golf, the teamwork of sports, or the curiosity of a museum trip. My goal is always to find the 'classroom' in the real world, whether we’re hiking in the park or navigating a busy airport during family travel.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part is being a consistent, trusted anchor for the family. As a 'strategic partner' to parents, my job is to provide the peace of mind that allows a household to thrive. It’s about looking past surface-level behavior to understand a child’s unique 'why' and ensuring every day—from routine medical appointments to big travel adventures—is managed with reliability and heart.

My experience with special needs children...

I specialize in neurodivergent care, specifically supporting children with Autism, ADHD, and ODD. My approach is rooted in 'Proactive Redirection' and positive guidance; I use 'scenario mapping' to anticipate triggers and focus on 'behavioral redirection' to maintain a calm, agile environment. I am experienced with seizure protocols, speech therapy reinforcement, and OT exercises, always integrating these goals into fun, everyday activities so learning feels like play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are the 'confidence clicks'—when a child masters a skill they previously found overwhelming. Whether it’s helping a school-aged child navigate the 'mental game' of golf to build resilience or seeing an infant reach a major motor milestone during our daily 'rotation,' I love being the person who helps them realize they are capable of big things.
