A little bit about me

Compassionate, patient caregiver with personal experience supporting autism and children of all ages. I create a calm, structured environment where children feel safe, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m attentive to emotional needs, big feelings, and sensory sensitivities, while keeping routines smooth and days engaging. I love to do crafts, play outside, and make a game out of nothing!
I live in Byron Center with my golden retriever so I’m comfortable in busy, pet-friendly homes. I bring a grounded, reliable energy that parents can trust and kids feel safe around. I am first aid and CPR certified as well 😊

More About Me

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

My brothers are 11 years younger than me and twins. I was the live in nanny. I also volunteered at church nurseries and have babysat for family and friends. I also took a babysitting course as a teenager. My friends call me “the baby whisper” because I have the lucky touch that soothes a crying baby.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy outside activities and art!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping kids safe always.

My experience with special needs children...

2 of my brothers are autistic and I worked at an adult daycare previously. I am drawn to special needs children and love finding ways to connect with everyone from low functioning to high functioning and everywhere in between.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was there to witness a baby take its first steps. I got it all on video for the parents and their excitement was so heartwarming.
