A little bit about me

As a nurturing and reliable caregiver with firsthand experience raising my own three children (ages 1 to 15), I understand the importance of providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m passionate about early childhood development and believe in encouraging creativity, kindness, and structure through play, learning, and consistent routines. Whether it’s bottle-feeding a toddler or helping with homework, I bring patience, organization, and genuine care to every family I work with. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs.
***I’ve recently accepted a full-time office position that begins in mid-August, so I’m currently only available for temporary or short-term care through August 10. If you need backup care, short-term help, or coverage during your transition to a long term nanny, I’d love to connect!
