"She was an amazing employ she took good care of my kids like it was her own she always knew what to do to calm them down when they weren’t having a good day. She was always on point with feeding them and putting them to bed. And the kids loved her they saw her as an older sister and always wanted her around. If you were to hire a babysitter/nanny I would choose her over my own mother. She really was an excellent babysitter. Sadly we have to let her go because we are moving states but once again if anyone is looking for a babysitter she is the best person to hire."

A little bit about me

With over ten years of experience in working with children and a background in social work, I bring a warm, individualized approach to caregiving. I believe every child is unique, and my goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment where they can grow emotionally, socially, and developmentally. I take time to understand each child’s needs, preferences, and personality, and tailor my approach accordingly. My experience as a therapist has taught me the importance of building trust and connection. I work closely with families to ensure open communication, providing regular updates and being responsive to concerns. I aim to create positive, enriching experiences for children through play, creativity, and meaningful interaction. Whether it’s through art, play, or simply being present, I help children build confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Above all, I strive to be a reliable and compassionate caregiver, dedicated to supporting your family.
