A little bit about me

With nearly a decade of experience in childcare and household management, I bring warmth, structure, and genuine passion to every family I work with. I specialize in long-term placements, travel nannying, and overnight care, thriving as a true partner in a family's daily rhythm.
Watching a child gain confidence is what drives me — I show up every day intentional and present, because I know these years matter.
My experience spans infants through school-age children, including newborn care, potty training, and travel coordination. I'm comfortable managing schedules, household systems, and appointments to keep the home running smoothly.
A certified Pilates instructor with current CPR and First Aid certifications, I'm known for being reliable, discreet, and deeply communicative.

More About Me

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

Worked for afterschool programs, summer camps and preschools

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting kids outside — nature walks, beach days, and bike rides are some of my favorite ways to spend the day. Fresh air and movement are non-negotiables for me.
In the kitchen, I love baking simple recipes with kids and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. Hands-on, sensory-rich play is where children thrive.
Books are a big part of my life, and I love sharing that with kids — whether it's a picture book at bedtime or making up silly stories on the go.
I enjoy teaching real-life skills too, like helping in the kitchen, tidying up, or caring for a plant. Kids light up when they feel capable and trusted.
Drawing on my Pilates background, I also love weaving movement and stretching into play in a fun, age-appropriate way.
