I myself am a new mom! After years in corporate business I was laid off and turned to nannying for part time income during my transition. During that time I fell in love with nannying and it inspired me to start my own family. Now as I look into getting back into some part time work I would love to continue to help families. In addition to my passion for childcare,I am an active volunteer with Austin Angels providing caregiver support to foster children. I am CPR and First Aid certified for adults, children, and infants. I am also a certified Respite Caregiver with the State of Texas. I have completed trainings and a federal background check through the Department of Child Services. You can trust I will prioritize your child's safety and care. I am friendly, outgoing, and kind. I am gentle and playful in my interactions with all little ones. I love animals and also have 2 dogs that I care for. I've fostered several animals and am comfortable around different breeds and ages. I am trustworthy, helpful, and flexible with my ability to help your family.
