A little bit about me

As a dependable, flexible educator with 15 years experience working with pre K-8th along with raising my 18year old daughter, it would be wonderful to apply my abilities and expertise to keeping your children safe, happy and on the right developmental path.

I am very passionate about guiding, coaching and mentoring children of all abilities to learn and explore the world around them.I have prior nanny experience and my responsibilities consisted of the safety of the children, transportation to/from school, preparing meals, shopping, light housekeeping, schoolwork, laundry, helping children get dressed and cleaning up after them. I would ensure the appropriate levels of physical and mental activity by engaging children in active play, inside and/or outside such as educational games, puzzles, sports, going for a walk to the park all while making sure they are meeting their milestones.

A little bit about me

Hi there!
I’m currently looking for a part-time position while growing my life coaching business. I’m a mom to three amazing kids—my 16-year-old son, 5-year-old daughter, and 6-year-old stepson—so I truly understand the day-to-day realities of parenting across different stages of development.

When my daughter was born, I dove deeply into studying coaching, child development, and psychology. I completed several certifications and worked part-time as a sitter, which helped me combine passion with practical experience. I’m especially passionate about conscious parenting, emotional attunement, and supporting children’s brain development in their most formative years.

I believe in the power of connection, structure, and healthy habits. I’m warm, empathetic, and nurturing—but I also know the importance of clear boundaries and consistent routines. I love clean eating, value nutrition.
