As the oldest of three siblings, I started my career in childcare as far back as I can remember. Through the years I have acquired professional experience as a nanny for large families, a nanny for single child households, a caregiver for dementia patients, and as a housekeeper. I am adept at caring for babies under a year old to children up to fifteen years old, and everything in between! I approach nannying with a creative and stimulating style to establish a fun environment, while also accomplishing school work, chores, and anything else on the agenda for the day. I have an educational background in Environmental Science and enjoy planting with children, going on nature walks, potentially visiting the zoo or beach, and anything that can get us outside having fun. I also enjoy arts and crafts very much and spend much of my personal time painting and drawing. I Read more look forward to hearing from you!

Sheila had been our nanny for two years. We have two young kiddos who were 2 and 6 at the time she started with us. We didn’t worry about anything with Sheila acting in loco parentis. She is awesome. The kids were safe, loved, and (it was during Covid times so especially challenging), she took great care of their education, happiness, and our home. We worked together as a team to strategize any difficulties, she’s an excellent communicator. We fully trust her and know that our kids are very well cared for with her. She arranged play dates, made a date night for us a super fun night for the kids, and even created a prek curriculum for our son. Going above and beyond for the people she cares about is who she is. Sheila is very special; she’s an absolute one-of-a-kind. Our kids now call her Auntie Sheila when we get to visit her.
