Hello! I am a mother of three children, a 24-year-old daughter and twin boys who are 20. My experience includes working with children in many capacities since I was 12 years old. I started out babysitting and have been a lifeguard, swim coach, swim lesson instructor, pre-school teacher, nanny, tutor, and a VA licensed special education teacher. I was a special education teacher in the elementary and high school setting from 2008-2017 in Powhatan County. Since 2020, I have taken care of 3 infants long term until they were placed in daycare at 12 months. I currently take care of a 3-year-old little boy and a 6-year-old girl on Tuesdays/Thursdays. I have been with them since January 2024. On Mondays/Wednesdays, I care for a 9-month-old that I began watching in January. I hope to find a family that needs a reliable, loving, patient, and experienced nanny to join their family. Read more I adore babies and love working with children of all ages and helping them thrive. My current families are transitioning to daycare. On August 18th, I will be available Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays. Come September 1st, I will be available full time. Please reach out if you need care!
