A little bit about me

I come from a large family and as such was always around kids. During my teenage years people begun to notice how their kids were naturally attracted to me.
So after high school, I went on to train to become a teacher in my home country of Ghana

When I arrived in the United States, my sister introduced me to the wonderful world of the Nanny profession. I was hooked.
Over the years I have had the privilege of working for many wonderful families and meeting some terrific kids, most of whom in turn have blessed me so much.

Child care comes to me as natural as breathing, and when a family trusts me with their most prized possession, their child, I pour my heart and soul into the job.
I am security conscious, detail oriented individual. Also very dependable.
I have more than 15 years of child care experience in the United States alone. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to work with multiple families at a time .
I'm also the mother of 9 year old twins.
