Hi! I’m a college student on summer break with over 3 years of childcare/infant work experience. I’m responsible, caring, and dependable, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids. Whether you need help for a date night, occasional childcare, or an extra set of hands, I’d love to help support your family!
With over 20 years of experience in child care, I bring a warm, reliable, and professional presence to every family I work with. My background includes years as a nanny, teacher, after-school and summer program director, and behavior interventionist.

Currently, I work as a Juvenile Probation Officer with DCYF, where I support youth and families with care, structure, and empathy. I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and trust when caring for children. I’m also happy to care for your furry family members—I’m a responsible and loving pet caregiver with experience handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments.
