A little bit about me

I'm a 42 year old married homemaker and mother of 2 boys, 14 & 17. I started babysitting at 12 years old and worked my way up to being a Nanny till I was 36. I used to be CPR certified when I was working as the Cash Office Manager at IKEA. I was a nanny to 4 children along with my 2 children during the school year from [phone number hidden]. I also watched children before and after school for 3 neighborhood families. Getting the kids on/off bus, pass out snacks and helped with homework until their parents picked them up. I helped raise my niece and nephew from 2 months of age till age 4. My oldest son is Autistic and has ADHD, so I am a bit familiar in that area. Both of my children are currently homeschooled. I absolutely love children and am a big kid at heart. I'm always the Aunt who has all the kids for sleepovers or play dates. Their safety and security are my top priority. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite part of being a Nanny is seeing the children's faces light up when they realize they've mastered the skill you've been working on with them. Nothing better than that exact moment it clicks and you see them realize they can do it.
