I’ve been around childcare my entire life. My parents owned a childcare center in the 90s and brought it to Indiana in the early 2000s, so growing up I was always surrounded by children of all ages. Because of that, I learned early on how to help create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I officially started assisting in the childcare setting at age 13, helping with daily routines, meals, activities, and supervision. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding, hygiene, engaging children in developmental activities, keeping them safe, and understanding different behaviors and needs. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, which has strengthened my ability to handle emergencies and provide safe, attentive care. Being raised in that environment taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with kindness and consistency. Those skills translate directly into caregiving, because I’m already comfortable supporting someone’s daily needs and making sure they feel safe and cared for.

I am a wife and mother of three adult children. I was a certified elementary teacher (k-9) for over 15 years before I moved here, and I love to work with children. I was a full time nanny to two young children (3 yrs old and 3-15 months) in St. Joseph, Michigan (2021-23), another infant 3-20 months in Valparaiso (2023-24), and two children (4 & 2 years old) in Valpo (23-Now) I'm currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can help with just about anything including the feeding, cleaning, laundry, making baby food, or homework. Just let me know what it is that you need. I am very comfortable with children of all ages. As a working parent, I understand how hard it is to get it all done and how important it is to find a reliable, trusted individual to care for your most precious commodity - your children. I am hands-on, engaging, and fun. I love to get kids out and about and involved in activities that involve physical movement whenever possible. I am also extremely reliable.

I began babysitting when I was 12 yrs. old and have always enjoyed caring for and teaching children. While growing up, my Mom was a babysitter, so I saw first hand what all the job entailed. My summer jobs were always as a nanny and included: outdoor activities, swimming lessons (I was on a swim team for 10 years and a certified life guard), age appropriate lessons/tutoring in reading, writing, spelling, and math, social skills, crafts, cooking, and errands. I truly enjoyed it! I retired 9 years ago and decided to go back to doing what I truly love... being a nanny. Over the past 9 years I've had the pleasure of helping a number of families. I have a lot of love, patience, and knowledge still left to give, so I would like to find another family to be a nanny and/or house manager for. I have experience with newborns through junior high age, twins, multiple children, special needs, love pets, am a non-smoker, very active, and love the outdoors. I will also bring along my exceptional organizational skills, prepare meals, run errands, tutor, accommodate activities/schedules, vacation travels, overnights, pet sit, and whatever else I can do to help. I am CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages as well as having a clean driving record and background. I am Covid vaccinated and Tdap up-to-date. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting my next amazing family!
