A little bit about me

Mother of four grown children. I have been a nanny since I was 17 while going to college to earn my early education degree. I became a mom early and decided to stay home while working with children in our church daycare, and as a nanny as my kids grew. I worked as a special ed para for 3 yrs while living in MT. I love to be engaged, love outdoor activities, and anything that keeps kids active and learning through play. I have many years of experience with all ages. I’m very flexible and dependable.

"Misty is our current nanny. Misty is our family. She has been with us for five years, and I say “us”, because not only does she take care of my children, but she holds our entire family unit together! We have extremely busy schedules with work, several sports, speech therapy, school, all the life things, and she juggles it all better than we do! She has been a godsend to us and we could never imagine life without her. She is a dream come true for any family. My kids thrive with her as she is extremely nurturing with both of them. My son has feeding and speech issues and she continues to be very patient and empathetic with him. She and my five year old daughter are the best of friends and they play aaallllll day long. On weekends all I hear is, “I miss ‘teetee’” - our given name for Misty. FAMILIES - don’t let Misty pass you by! We are only willing to part with her a little as our youngest ventures onto kindergarten! 😊 Reach out with questions."

"If you’re looking for someone to care for your child or children with as much love, protection, and understanding as you would, Misty is, without a doubt, the woman for the job. We were privileged to have Misty care for our son when he was just four months old, and she was with us for 10 incredible months before we had to move away. She set the standard for what we expect in childcare. She is the gold standard. Misty is loving, punctual, responsible, assertive, caring, gentle, patient, responsive, and knowledgeable— I could go on, but I know you don’t have all day. When our son was with Misti, we felt a deep sense of peace and relief, knowing he was in such exceptionally capable hands. The next child or children who have the privilege of being cared for by Misty will be the luckiest kids in the world."
