Family has always been incredibly important to me. I am one of seven children and therefore grew up in a household managing a lot of different ages, experiences, and emotions. I have nannied and babysat consistently since I was 18. My experience has solidified my desire to continue to help families. Additionally, I have my bachelors degree from Marquette University in accounting and finance. I also am a CPA. I currently work as an auditor at Deloitte. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow parents' preferred communication methods regarding their child's day. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. More than anything, I look forward to creating a fun and enriching environment for your children.
