A little bit about me

I’m a loving mother of four and a proud grandmother of eight. For more than two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to nurturing, teaching, and supporting children of all ages. After retiring from my daytime career, I chose to continue doing what I truly love, caring for children.

Over the years, I’ve been blessed to help many families by providing a safe, warm, and loving environment where children can grow, learn, and feel at home. As my passion for child care continues, I’ve now expanded my services to include both After School Care and Third Shift Night Care. I am offering families the flexibility and support they need, no matter their schedule.

When your little ones are with me, they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved and cared for like family. 💕

More About Me

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

I am a seasoned child and family caretaker with a lifelong passion for nurturing and supporting children. I have extensive experience working with at-risk families in the foster care system, where I served as a compassionate advocate ensuring that each child’s emotional, physical, and developmental needs were met. My greatest joy has always been creating an environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to grow.

In addition to my work in family care, I have spent many years assisting several families with in-home child care, all while maintaining my professional career. For the past three years, I have been nannying for one family consistently, forming a lasting bond with their children, while also continuing to care for other families during this time. Each experience has strengthened my dedication to providing dependable, nurturing, and high-quality care that supports both children and parents alike.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy spending quality time with children and providing them with the care, attention, and support they deserve. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or engaging in calm, creative activities, I take pride in creating a loving and comfortable environment where every child feels safe, valued, and cared for. 💛

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny…
The most important part about being a nanny is building trust and genuine connections with both the children and their families. It’s not just about supervision — it’s about offering love, patience, and consistency. I believe in creating a space where children feel safe, understood, and valued, while also giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are being cared for as if they were my own. To me, being a nanny is truly about becoming part of the family and making a positive, lasting impact on a child’s life.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children…
I have had the privilege of fostering and caring for children with behavioral and developmental challenges. Many of these children have faced emotional or mental health disabilities, and I’ve gained years of hands-on experience providing patient, structured, and loving care. My goal is always to create a safe, understanding environment where every child can feel supported, valued, and capable.
