A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Julie—a dependable, energetic, and compassionate nanny with years of childcare experience, a background in social services supporting children and families, and a degree in Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Political Science. I create a safe, structured, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and build confidence.

I spent eight summers as a lifeguard, giving families added peace of mind—especially here in Florida—knowing I remain calm, attentive, and safety-focused around the water. I'm highly adaptable, comfortable redirecting behaviors with patience and consistency, and quick to adjust when plans change.

I also love animals! I have a Golden Retriever of my own and grew up around pets, so I'm happy to help with pet care, light household upkeep, meal prep, errands, organization, and other family assistant tasks.

My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family by providing dependable care while making your daily life a little easier.
