I’m an experienced nanny, Family Assistant, parenting educator, and published children’s author with a genuine love for children and families. I’m also the mom of two grown sons whom I homeschooled through 10th grade. I’ve worked professionally with private families since 2017, caring for children from infancy through school age, including neurodivergent children. I’m warm, playful, calm, dependable, and emotionally attuned, with a particular passion for helping children build confidence, independence, and emotional regulation skills. I also genuinely enjoy the household side of family support—healthy meal prep, laundry, errands, organization, transportation, household resets, and creating systems that make family life easier. I’m comfortable with pets, love being active and outdoors, and bring a mature, grounded presence along with plenty of energy and fun. Before working with private families, I spent 28 years with Nordstrom in leadership, training, and operations. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and would love to find families who value warm, reliable, proactive care.
