Care giving has been a way of life for me, and something I am very passionate about. I grew up in a large family caring for younger siblings, and then later grandparents. My interest in caring for and helping others led to my BS degree in Human Services, and my career working with people of all ages. In January of 2018 I moved from Vermont to Grayson County, Texas to be closer to my family. This has given me the opportunity to seek a new care giving position as a nanny, which aligns closely with my education and life long experience as a caregiver. Additionally I am the parent of three grown children and lead a very healthy and active lifestyle. I love to read and share my passion of books with others. I also like the outdoors, hiking, and spending time with family, friends, and pets.
