More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve taken care of seven, high-risk infant babies all at the same time! One of the best times of my life!

My cousin has ten kiddos, and I’ve been her nanny for quite some time, when she needs me! I’d sure be glad to get references for you. I have many!

I also take care of the elderly, as I own 3 Assisted Living Facilities in California & Oklahoma.

I have over 40 rescues at my home! I’m pretty used to getting everything organized and running smoothly!

I’ve worked 911 telecommunications, so I’ve had the pleasure of saving a life over the phone, saving a life in person, or explaining to someone how to save a life! Comes in pretty handy!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m more of an outdoorsy person than I am in indoor person. I love taking the kiddos outside and going for walks, exploring where the bugs come from and what they do and where their homes are. I love going to the lake if it’s age-appropriate. We walk along the shore and we find all kinds of things. I like going to the library, swimming, going to the park, and playing as much as I can!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I understand that I have your entire life in my hands. People who have not had children have a hard time with the concept of having your entire life right there in the palm of your hand. I understand how important those babies are, and I will always protect them with my life! It’s about being aware of your surroundings, assessing the dangers, and getting out of that zone!

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for many many special needs children. From cystic fibrosis, to ADD, ADHD, autism, MS, hydrocephalus, babies who need oxygen, and heart monitors. I’ve had a lot of experience and I’ve met a lot of wonderful people I’ve been able to help!

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when all nine of the kiddos came and piled on top of me, told me I was the bestest person in the whole wide world, and told me they loved me so much that they can’t wait for me to get there in the mornings!

Another time was when I had all seven infant kiddos (all under 3 months) at the same time. It was so satisfied when they were all fed, changed and sleeping.
