A little bit about me

Hi there! I've been caring for children for over 15 years. I am passionate about keeping children engaged in a variety of activities focusing on a variety of skills and subjects.
I am active and knowledgeable in sports, nature and outdoor activities. I try to be an engaged nanny and create a safe and nurturing environment for the children.
I am skilled in working with children of various ages, levels of needs and multiple children households.
In addition to my extensive childcare experience, I have a culinary business background. I have experience in preparing many dishes and accommodating a wide range of dietary needs. I am happy to prepare meals, food prep and teach kids their way around a kitchen. I also value an organized and clean space. I am always willing to help with housework and maintain a clean and safe environment at all times.
I am respectful of the families rules, values and privacy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments is when I took the kids on there first geocaching adventure. The pure joy in their faces was amazing. And at the end of the day one of then said to me, "I only have one complaint, I wish you would have showed us this sooner!"
Additionally, I got a message from their mom later saying both kids said they had the best day ever!
