A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Carlin.

As a mom, I understand how difficult it is to find proper child care. There are so many questions that run through your mind when deciding who is the best fit to care for your child.

Let me help ease your mind.

I was an LPN for 10+ years. I finally let my nursing license expire after making a decision on furthering my education and shifting to a new career path; I aspire to become an attorney.

I have one daughter who is now a teenager. The thought of having more children has crossed my mind a few times; however, it’s never been the right time in my life. So, I always thought once my daughter leaves for college that I would become a foster mom.

I am highly involved in my daughter’s life. For instance, I was the room parent at her elementary school, a member of the PTO, and I also assisted with coaching her cheerleading squad and softball teams.

I would describe myself as kind and patient. But most importantly, I love helping people.
