A little bit about me
As the fifth of six children, I have had extensive experience working with children from a young age. Beginning at 13, I assisted with Sunday School and Children's Church, developing my skills in youth development and education. Additionally, I have had the pleasure of mentoring and caring for numerous nieces, further honing my ability to connect with and support young people. Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with family, which has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of diverse cultures and values.

Hi, I’m Annie! I have a decade of experience, I have been nannying since I was 16, with gaps working as an emergency vet tech in NYC/NJ/HTX & ATX. I am CPR AND First aid certified, as well as have my CNA license. I am also night nurse/doula certified and have worked via a doula agency in Austin for almost a year now. Majority of my experience is with premature babies, new borns and toddlers. I have a license & my own car :) but it’s a mx-5 so cannot drive children in it. I have worked with a ton of high profile families in ATX and NYC.
