A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 27 and originally from Cincinnati, now based in Columbus. For the past three years, I worked as a nanny for two girls in Upper Arlington—an experience that truly changed my life. I handled everything from school pickups and activity drop-offs to organizing schedules, planning creative activities, and, most importantly, being present and engaged with them every day. Before that, I spent three years working in daycares, where I was CPR and First Aid certified and gained hands-on experience supporting kids in fast-paced, structured environments. Childcare has been a constant throughout my life—I’ve been nannying in some capacity since I was young, and it’s always been something I genuinely love. Outside of childcare, I’m a creative at heart. I grew up dancing, have a college degree in Acting and Moving Image Production, and love anything that allows me to be imaginative and expressive. I’m also a huge cat person and proud to say I’ve never met one I didn’t like.
