A little bit about me

With 12+ years of nanny and childcare experience, I’ve had the privilege of watching many children grow, learn, and become their own wonderful people. Somewhere along the way I realized that childcare is more than just a job for me- it’s something I genuinely love. I love getting to know each child’s personality and developing a sweet, lasting friendship with each one built on trust, laughter, kindness, and fun.
My many years of experience, training and education, and my passion for working with children has allowed me to grow into a career-nanny; the best job in the world. My goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind while providing their children with the kind of warm, dependable care I would want for my own family.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children are the most important and precious part of a parents life, and it's an honor when a parent chooses to trust me with that. The post important part about being a nanny to me is maintaining that trust, and being someone fun and loving that their children look forward to seeing.

The most important part about being a nanny...

A couple years ago I brought one my nanny kids a Christmas present. He was five at the time, and he was so moved and grateful for his gift that he wanted to give me something. So he went outside in his pajamas and came back in with generic looking rock. He brought it to me saying "This is for you, because I know you like rocks." I do collect rocks and crystals and I was touched that he remembered that. This rock was just an ordinary rock from the flower bed outside his house, but it immediately became special when he picked it out for me. That boy is 10 now and I only just recently retired from being his nanny, but that rock still sits on a special shelf with all my favorite crystals.
