I have been caring for children just about my whole life. As a Nanny, mother or grandmother. My nanny-style, think Jo Frost, but with a grandmothers heart.

love being a nanny because caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a warm, safe, and loving environment where babies and kids feel secure. As a mother to a 4-month-old, I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and consistency. It gives me joy to support families and to provide the same quality of care I give my own child. I have hands-on experience caring for infants through raising my own baby, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, sleep routines, tummy time, and monitoring developmental milestones. I have CPR or First Aid training,

Hi! I’m a new sophomore in college who has always enjoyed working with children. As the oldest of three siblings, I’ve spent many years helping care for and support my younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I also was a mentor in high school and a camp counselor. I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their family’s care.
