A little bit about me

I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with a background in child life, child development, and family support. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Child Life and Family Studies, along with several years of experience supporting children and families in both hospital and home settings, including live-in nanny experience during graduate school.
I’m passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and supported while encouraging their independence, creativity, and development through play and everyday experiences. I’m organized, attentive, and resourceful, and I enjoy taking initiative to make daily routines run smoothly for both children and parents.
I would love to find a family where I can build a lasting relationship, become a trusted part of their support system, and make a positive difference in their children’s lives!
