I have experience caring for school-age children, about 4 years old and up, and I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. With kids, I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, outdoor activities, homework, meals, and keeping their normal routine going. I try to be patient, calm, and easygoing while still making sure everyone is safe and cared for. I also love dogs and have experience with walking, feeding, playing, and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and know how important it is to follow each family’s routine. Families can expect me to be dependable, respectful of their home, and attentive to both children and pets.

I work full-time in architecture and have over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages and needs, from newborns through teens. I enjoy arts and crafts, science experiments, cooking, and active play, and I thoughtfully adapt my care to each child and family. I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. My experience includes light household chores, meal prep, school pick-ups and drop-offs, bedtime routines, homework help, and supporting multiples and children with special needs. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters (6.5 years) and serve on the board of NOMAct, where I chair K–12 outreach and lead fun, hands-on architectural learning for kids.

I’m a grandmother with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I’m patient, loving, reliable, and skilled in routines, safety, meals, and play. I’ve also supported seniors and managed household needs with care and attention.
