Hi! I’m a pediatric nurse with 2 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused in any situation, and I genuinely love working with kids both in and outside of the hospital setting!

I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and caring for children with varying needs.

I'm dependable, responsible, patient, and attentive to each child's individual needs.
