Booked by 6 families in Novato, CA

I have worked in the professional nanny industry for close to fifteen years. Before that, I worked as an occasional babysitter and camp counselor. I’m certified in first aid and infant/child/adult CPR. I have an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies (social science concentration) from The Catholic University of America. As well as a graduate certificate in human services from Wilmington University. I’m a patient and empathetic person. I think children have a contagious sense of wonder and happiness. They truly make the world a better place. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs outside my regular nanny position. I look forward to hearing from you!
