A little bit about me

I'm an enthusiastic childcare provider with a passion for nurturing children's growth and development. l was a PreK 4 co-teacher and was moving to 2nd grade. However, I moved to Abilene to be closer to my husband. My previous nannying/ babysitting roles have been incredibly rewarding. I worked with my most recent nanny family for three years and still maintain a great relationship with them.

I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method.
My approach to enforcing household rules is guided by the parents' lead, ensuring consistency for the children.

I love engaging children in various activities, from outdoor sports and reading to puzzles. I also enjoy incorporating educational games that promote learning. My hobbies an include: baking, cooking, reading, music and painting.

With 8 years of experience and a Bachelor's in English from Texas Tech, I'm confident in my ability to care for children of different ages, from infants to preteens.
