Hi, my name is Randi! I'm 42 years old and a proud mother of a daughter who is currently a junior in college.
Caring for others has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother owned and operated a daycare for 16 years, and I began helping care for children at just six years old. With five other women in my family also owning daycares, childcare has always been second nature to me. After graduating high school, I worked professionally in a daycare for several years before deciding to pursue another passion of mine—culinary arts.
I went on to build a successful 15+ year career as a chef in Atlanta's restaurant scene, working with well-known establishments such as Bartaco, The Iberian Pig, and Porchlight Latin Kitchen. My most recent restaurant position was Sous Chef at PLANTA. Throughout my culinary career, I developed strong leadership, organizational, time-management, and problem-solving skills.
Over the past year, I also had the opportunity to provide personal care and assistance to a woman experiencing health challenges. My responsibilities included preparing nutritious meals, accompanying her to medical appointments, and helping make her everyday life a little easier.
Ultimately, my greatest passion is taking care of people. I genuinely believe life is better when we have someone we can depend on.
I absolutely love children, and the feeling is usually mutual! They tend to see me as their best friend, but I also understand the importance of boundaries, consistency, and structure. I would describe my approach as firm but fun. I believe children thrive in an environment where they feel loved, supported, safe, and guided.
I'm naturally observant, proactive, and comfortable taking initiative without constantly needing direction. I notice the little things, anticipate needs, and enjoy finding ways to make a household run more smoothly.
I'm looking for a family that values me not simply as hired help, but as a trusted and appreciated part of their support system. I want to build a genuine relationship with a family where I can be myself, contribute my experience, and make a meaningful difference.
I bring much more than childcare experience to the table. I bring maturity, compassion, culinary expertise, structure, and a genuine heart for serving others.
My goal is simple: to make life easier for the family I work with while creating a loving, positive, and well-structured environment for their children.
