I’m known for being dependable, calm, and nurturing, and I specialize in helping little ones thrive through structure, sleep support, and gentle routines.

Whether I’m caring for a newborn, toddler, or supporting a busy household, I show up with compassion, flexibility, and a genuine heart for what I do. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have excellent references, and take pride in creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment that supports each child’s unique development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part is being a steady, loving presence that families can fully trust. I see my role as both a caregiver and a support system—someone who helps children thrive and gives parents peace of mind.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was helping a toddler overcome nap resistance by creating a cozy routine he grew to love. The first time he asked to go “night night” all on his own was such a proud and sweet win!
