Hi there! Welcome to my page. I am looking forward to meeting you and your lil ones A little background: I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I started with neighborhood children and expanded through word of mouth. I took a break when in school and since graduating, I worked in the Kid’s Club at a gym for a year where I took care of children 6 weeks to 12 years old, up to 5 at a time on my own and up to 10 at a time with a coworker. While there, I took on nannying which is now my full-time focus. Talents I possess: I am intuitive, empathic, and bring a fun-loving spirit. Nannying for me brings joy and flexibility. I enjoy nannying because it allows me to step into my power as a caretaker and as a lifter of spirits.
