Hello! I am an experienced nanny as well as a babysitter, respite provider, caretaker, and behavior technician for children with special needs. I am CPR, First Aid and CPI (Crisis Prevention) certified. I am also the oldest daughter of 7 and in that position I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember. I have coached sports teams, volunteered in classrooms and fieldtrips. I am calm and understanding and easy to talk to. I love schedules and routines! However, I am also flexible in the way I work and I tailor my skills to match the needs of each individual child I support. I have always known I was meant to work with children and I am so excited to follow that passion in any way that I can. In my time as a respite provider, I developed the skills to create and maintain schedules, Read more meet and work with therapists, attend medical appointments as well as sit in on IEP/504 meetings. I have experience with children who require toileting, are non-verbal and require the use of AAC devices. As a behavioral technician, I certified through the Crisis Prevention Institute where I developed the skills to provide the Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security to children with a focus on proactive behavior management, preventing crisis, and safely de-escalating anxious and/or violent behavior. I was also an office manager for an Investigation Firm for ten years and that is reflected in my organizational, interpersonal and technical skills. As of March 2026, I have completed my FBI Background Check and Live Scan Fingerprinting.
