A little bit about me
I use to nanny/baby sit all the time before I had my daughter. I worked at a chiropractic office and in management at a restaurant after I was done nannying. I'd love to start nannying again with my daughter. I cloth diaper with my daughter and I do gentle parenting. I also do Montessori style learning with her. We practice sign language as well. Although, I am not fluent. We learn daily to help teach her ways to communicate with me. I'd love to find a family to be a full time nanny for with my daughter.

A little bit about me
I bring energy, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to every child I care for. Whether we’re building epic pillow forts, dancing to Disney songs, exploring nature, or diving into story time with silly voices—I’m all in.
With several years of experience working with children of all ages, I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing, and FUN environment. I’m CPR/first aid certified, punctual, and super organized (but always down for spontaneous fun!).
Kids love my upbeat personality and playful spirit, and parents appreciate my responsibility, communication, and calm presence even when things get chaotic (hello toddler meltdowns ).
I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and celebrated—so I make sure our time together is filled with positivity, laughter, and encouragement.
Let’s make childhood magical—one snack, smile, and silly dance at a time!
