A little bit about me

I have 20 years of nanny experience with all age children from Infant to elementary age. I have a degree in elementary education, and I love children. I am very patient and affectionate, responsible and trustworthy.
I have cared for several infants over the years and have completed my Newborn Care Specialist training. I am finishing up my Postpartum Doula training this summer.
I am experienced and comfortable with breastfeeding and formula feeding, introducing solids, and making homemade baby food. I also have experience as a night nanny and gentle sleep coaching.
I am a happy person, and easy to get along with. As a parent, I have had caregivers myself, and understand the importance of finding the right, qualified person to care for your child. I have excellent references.
I am currently available a few nights/week for night nanny. I will have more availability starting September 2026 for newborn care.
