A little bit about me

I have an extensive background in childcare with more than 25 years of experience. Most recently, I owned a home daycare with a full house of 6 children for four years. Several children started off as infants and have since grown into little preschoolers and Kindergartners. Previous to opening my daycare, I worked with a family of triplets and helped to raise and support them for a decade. In addition to being a private nanny, I also take initiative to help out around the house. The children are always top priority, but when time allows such as naps, I am happy to help out! I find it critical to communicate closely with parents to provide the most consistent care for their children. I have excellent references available.
