With years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a calm, confident, and nurturing presence to every home I work in. I’ve previously nannied for twin toddlers and a 6 & 7 year old, managing the day-to-day with patience, creativity, and structure — and I’ve had the joy of basically being a second mother to my own eight nieces and nephews, many of whom I’ve helped care for from the newborn stage. Caring for children comes naturally to me. I'm deeply comfortable around kids, and I take great pride in creating a safe, loving environment that encourages their emotional, cognitive, and creative growth. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or nap time, I approach every moment with intention — offering gentle guidance, dependable support, and plenty of heart. My passion lies in supporting little ones as they learn and explore the world, and in being a trusted presence for the families I work with. I believe that nurturing care in the early years can shape a child's confidence and well-being for life, and I’m committed to bringing that energy into every day.
