A little bit about me

I am a young 64 year old, I keep up with the best of them. I love the outdoors. I feel that it’s important to have children outside at least once a day to get the fresh air and explore. I love helping children use their imagination. I have even videoed the children using their imagination so that the parents can see what they’ve done during the day while they’re with me, I think it’s important to let the parents know that their children are not being set down in front of the television instead I will keep them busy playing and learning. I have also learned in the time that I’ve spent here on this earth that children also teach us, things like take a minute and observe what God has created here on earth, patience, and unconditional love.

A little bit about me

I’m a seasoned mom of five grown children, a proud Mima to two beautiful grandchildren, and a children’s book author who truly understands what it takes to support a household with love, patience, and reliability. After raising my own family, I bring decades of hands‑on experience, calm intuition, and a nurturing presence to every home I step into.

I’m passionate about creating safe, stable, and engaging environments where children can learn, explore, and feel genuinely cared for. Whether it’s imaginative play, reading time, structured routines, or simply being a steady support system, I show up with consistency, creativity, and heart.

Now that my nest is empty, I’m excited to pour that same dedication into helping another family feel supported, understood, and confidently cared for.

I’m 45 years old just recently lost my parents I was there caregiver. I helped my dad with his parents my grandparents when they were alive. I currently work at Publix so I love children and seeing there faces light up when we hand them stickers and coloring papers.
