I am an energetic and caring mother of three with extensive experience caring for children from infants to age 12. I am comfortable multitasking, open to nanny shares, and enjoy caring for multiple children. I also have seven years of experience as a lifeguard and children’s swim coach, so water safety is a top priority for me. I have a very flexible schedule, can drive, and am often available for last-minute or evening support. I’d be happy to help your family!

I truly enjoy connecting with families and caring for their children. I find it so rewarding to support them as they grow into their little personalities. I have hands on experience working in a pediatricians office as well as on a Mother baby unit at Overlook Hospital where I support moms with their newborns during their postpartum stay. I am BLS certified and can bring a calm, attentive, safety-focused approach to childcare.

I am a mom to 2 teenaged boys and have 20+ years teaching experience, mostly at the secondary level. I have significant experience working with children with a variety of special needs and allergy protocols. I am an advocate of limited screen time for children and am happy to read, play board games, and spend time outdoors with them. I have always had a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I am looking for occasional work on weekends and during school breaks.
