A little bit about me

I'd love to be your night nanny! I have 16 years of experience with infants and toddlers. I have experience with multiple siblings, including twins. I have been the first caregiver outside of family members for many families. I am a former social worker and a University of Delaware graduate.

I value consistent and open communication. My communication style for planning is in writing - text is preferred. I will respect any screen time routines you have in place but if I'm given a choice I'm a no screen time sitter.

For your peace of mind:
-I will arrive and remain sober to watch your child (this includes nicotine and vaping)
-I will be on time
-I will respect your rules and routines
-I will speak to your child with kindness and respect
-Your child is my main focus
-I will do everything possible to meet your child's needs

I'm vaccinated with all standard vaccines and will get boosted for flu and COVID before I work with my next family.

Great references available upon request!
