A little bit about me

I am an energetic and nurturing caregiver with a professional background in high-end hospitality management. With a "fun and silly" spirit—and some solid face-painting skills—I pride myself on creating a joyful environment for children while maintaining the high standards of a well-run home.

My experience includes nannying for three families throughout my 20s and helping raise my niece and nephew from infancy through preschool. As a current restaurant manager, I excel at managing complex schedules, paying close attention to detail, and preparing high-quality meals tailored to specific dietary needs. I also bring a working knowledge of ASL to the table. I am eager to transition back into a role where I can utilize my organizational expertise to support a family and nurture the growth of their children.
