I've worked in childcare since sophomore year of high-school doing after school programs and babysitting. I am CPR certified and have plenty of experience with children from infant to middle school, as well as children with autism and other neurodiversities. I firmly believe in patience, calm voices, and creative solutions when working with children. I like to meet kids where they're at and form trust between us so we can get along well and respect one another. Currently, I am 25 and looking to work with younger children of smaller families as I am dealing with difficulty working due to Ehlers Danlos and other disabilities. I can hold babies, change diapers, make bottles and cook, play, and put kids down for nap, but struggle with lots of running and very active play due to my physical limitations, as well as long hours or several work days back to back. I am also trans and would like to work with welcoming and accepting families of the lgbt community.

I’m a 53 year old mom of two girls ages 18 & 26. I have worked in child care most of my adult life in a variety of settings - substitute teaching, daycare, preschool and nannying. I have experience with all ages from infant to teens. My first nanny job was for 14 years for one child who is now 32 years old and still a big part of my life. I also nannied for 7 years for another child at the same time (nanny share). I started with those two children when they were 2 months old. I took a break from child care for about 15 years to take care of my own children and try a different career which dissolved with the arrival of covid. I love working with children. It is what fills my heart and makes me happy.
