A little bit about me

I’m a 42-year-old mom of two amazing kids who are now in college, so I know firsthand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment for children to grow. I have experience as a preschool teacher working with ages 2–4, and I also spent four years as a Girl Scout leader—so I’m no stranger to creativity, patience, and a little chaos 😊

My favorite age group is 2–4 because it’s such a magical stage—they’re learning everything, finding their voices, and seeing the world with wonder. I love being part of that.

I enjoy arts and crafts, nature, animals, and spending time outdoors—whether that’s exploring, playing, or just soaking up sunshine. I was previously CPR and First Aid certified and am open to renewing that certification if needed.

I bring a calm, nurturing presence, a playful spirit, and real-life parenting experience to every family I work with.

More About Me

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

I bring both formal training and real-life experience to childcare. I was certified in Early Childhood Education through Sheboygan Falls High School in 2000 and worked as a preschool teacher, focusing on children ages 2–4—my favorite stage, where learning and growth happen so quickly.

Beyond the classroom, I served as a Girl Scout leader from 2007 to 2010, helping young girls build confidence, creativity, and life skills. As a mother of two now-grown children, and having fostered two additional children, I have extensive hands-on experience providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment.

I truly enjoy supporting children as they learn, explore, and become themselves.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged in ways that are both fun and meaningful. Indoors, I enjoy arts and crafts, sensory play, reading stories, baking, and imaginative play like building forts or dress-up. Outside, I’m all about fresh air—park trips, nature walks, chalk art, bubbles, and simple games. I like creating a balance of creativity, learning, and just letting kids be kids, while making sure they feel safe, supported, and happy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, being a nanny is about more than just supervision—it’s about helping children see the world with curiosity and confidence, while making sure they feel safe, valued, and understood. I also believe it’s important that parents feel at ease and trust how their children are being cared for

My experience with special needs children...

While I have extensive childcare experience, I don’t have specific training in special needs care. I want to be respectful of each child’s needs and ensure families have someone fully equipped to support them.

Making up ridiculous dances with the kids

Joshua H. - Seeking Work in Sheboygan Falls

Babysitter Available in Sheboygan Falls, WI: Joshua H.

I do not have any kids myself but I do love kids off all ages. I am very assertive, energetic, respectful, and love to have fun. With that said I am no pushover with children. Whatever rules or chores that the parents have for their child or children will be completed or obeyed by. I may not be as experienced as other nanny's but I will guarantee that your child/children will not hate me and most likely say that I am nice and fun and a good cook. As for you, the parents, I would be shocked if when you get back home that you will be disappointed or dissatisfied with me. Also, if needed by your request I do like to clean and cook. Only downfall with me is that I do not have a drivers license. So that's a little sneak peak about me. Oh yeah, I am a huge sports fan and much rather be outside than hanging out inside.
