I truly love being a nanny and sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I find joy in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and feel supported. Every child is unique, and I value the chance to bring out their creativity, confidence, and curiosity through play, learning, and consistency. I have decades of hands-on experience raising my own children as well as working with families in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages from newborns and toddlers to school aged kids and teens with an emphasis on patience, positive communication, and encouragement. I understand the balance between structure and fun, and I know how to adapt to each family’s needs.

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 8 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!

I'm a 21 year old single mom with a lot of open availability in my schedule. I have one son who is disabled, blind, and on the spectrum. Ive been babysitting and volunteering for kids starting from 6 months to 14 years old since I was about 11 years old. I have always loved hanging out with kids as well as taking care of people. I am working to get my nursing license/degrees to be able to work with children with special needs. I am super adaptable as well as vigilant and ready for anything. I try to step foot first with positive thinking skills and adapting to what a kid needs/knows, no matter the task.
