If you count taking care of my younger brother with Down Syndrome I have many years of childcare experience. Outside of my family, I’ve worked with friends providing childcare (mostly ages 4-10), pet sitting and house sitting services. Additionally, I have 3 years of experience in a retirement home and 1 year private caregiving. I hold a BLS/CPR certification and within the past year, I obtained my EMT license.

I am a compassionate and well-rounded professional with over 25 years of experience in caregiving, wellness, and creative program facilitation. I hold a degree in alternative medicine with a focus on herbalism, aromatherapy, and nutrition, allowing me to support individuals through a holistic and integrative approach to health and well-being. With personal experience managing food allergies, I specialize in preparing and planning gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free meals. I bring both practical knowledge and empathy into this work, helping others navigate dietary needs in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and sustainable. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with seniors, children of all ages, and families. My experience includes running after-school programs, where I created structured, engaging, and nurturing environments that supported both learning and personal growth. I am known for my patience, reliability, and ability to build strong, trusting relationships. In the past three years, I have expanded my work into pet care, building a loyal clientele by providing reliable and attentive overnight pet sitting services. I am committed to ensuring animals feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, while giving pet owners peace of mind. In addition to my caregiving and wellness background, I am highly creative, artistic, and organized. I enjoy crafting, designing meaningful experiences, and bringing order and calm to spaces and routines. I take pride in helping others feel supported, whether through hands-on care, creative expression, or thoughtful organization. I am passionate about helping people live healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling lives. I bring a warm, grounded presence, strong work ethic, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact in every role I take on.

Hello families, I’m very glad to meet you. The first thing you should know about me is that I am a Christian and I love Jesus with all of my heart! The second thing you should know about me is that I love children of all ages. The third thing you should know about me is that I am a wife and mother. The fourth thing you should know about me is that I’ve been taking care of children since I was a teenager. I have been a preschool teacher and a homeschooling mom. My boys will be graduating from high school next Saturday. My husband and I have been married for 26 1/2 years. I’m looking forward to getting to know your families and playing with your children. PS. I enjoy being with children because they make me laugh and smile. I see all children as a gift from God who are designed to be loved, cherished and enjoyed.
