A little bit about me

I am new to the SLO area as of July 2021. I have been a massage therapist for the past 11 years. Relocated due to domestic violence. I have a 1 year old with foster parents while I reestablish myself. I illuminate any room I enter and have a fun loving can-do attitude.. I enjoy being of service and have a knack for all things that any mother would have; nurturing, cooking, cleaning. Ect. I enjoy singing, laughing, painting, cooking, science projects, reading, writing, teaching and having safe fun! Laughter is the best medicine... oh and band-aids! I believe every child should enjoy their time as children, so there is always a fun activity planned. I am always thinking ahead and preparing for the next step. I am a positive nurturing mom who only wants the best for my families. I hope to be a part of yours soon. I have a contagious smile and always pack a note in the kiddos lunche pails, like my mom did for me. Talk soon! Only good things.

A little bit about me

Hi parents!
Working with children has been my life calling since I remember - I grew up as the oldest of 6 kids and wanting to be a teacher/nurse then eventually taking on roles in my community such as tutoring, babysitting, teaching Sunday school and it made me realize it was something I really excelled at. I now have a degree in Developmental Psychology and have professional experience teaching toddlers, 3 year olds, and kindergarteners at a private school for early education. I have also acquired a certification to teach yoga and children’s yoga. I am intentional with children’s growth and honor a child’s development in every age stage. I have a background in American sign language and can comfortably utilize baby sign and ASL. I love cooking healthy food and making it taste delicious, and I think that nutrition is so important for little ones. I would love to have a chat with you if you would like to know more specifics about my nannying career, education, or background!
