A little bit about me
Hello, I am a 31 year old woman that has been in the childcare field for over 15 years with 11 of those years as a nanny. Being able to contribute to the development of a child in life while also helping a family as a whole navigate through work and home life has definitely been an added highlight. I am been able to work with different families from all different backgrounds and in the process they have become extended family that I still talk to, to this day. I look forward to having the opportunity to help a family and provide a healthy, educational and fun environment for their child(ren).

I'm a Nanny and House Manager with 12 years of experience working in busy, high-profile homes. I've cared for children of all ages from newborns to teenagers and truly enjoy supporting their growth through every stage. I have experience with bottle feeding and sleep training, helping with homework, managing after-school activities, and everything in between. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids can thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally. I'm known for being dependable, discreet, and proactive. Along with childcare, I manage busy family schedules, communicate with teachers and tutors, coordinate with vendors, run errands, and help keep the household running smoothly, all while prioritizing the children's needs.
