I love to have fun and be really silly! I have 3 adult children. Well 4 when you count my daughter-in-law. Who I consider as my second daughter! I am a grandma of identical twin girls! My little beauties! They are all the lights of my life! We are all very close and I’m very proud of all of them! I am a widow so my time is my own. I love children of all ages. I enjoy pets as well. I have a little pug named Frankie and a kitty named Bowdie. I’ve worked at daycares for years and thought I might try doing in home daycare. So took care of a family of five for over a year till they didn’t need me. Now I’m with a family of five again but only babysit 18 hours a week. I’m available Monday thru Thursday 9-3 and weekends. I’m up for anything anytime! I love to do whatever the children enjoy. After all it’s all their time. I don’t spend time on my phone or watch tv. I may have the tv on once in a while for a special movie or children’s program. I do however like to have music playing at times that we can dance to and just go a little crazy! I do like to know if you have specific activities you would like me to do and what your expectations would be. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your most precious possessions!! I will care for them as I would my own children. With much love!! Thx! Blessings! Also I love animals, all kinds. Also have had a background check done on this cite.

I am a warm, loving, and dependable nanny with over eight years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I come from a deeply family-oriented background, and nurturing children has always been a natural part of who I am. I pride myself on being well-rounded and attentive, creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can truly thrive. I am more than happy to help with cooking, meal prep, light cleaning, and household organization, and I love keeping days fun, structured, and meaningful. Whether it’s educational activities, arts and crafts, imaginative play, or hands-on learning, I enjoy supporting each child’s development in a way that feels exciting and age-appropriate. I also love getting kids out of the house—from trips to the park or zoo to fun local adventures that encourage curiosity, movement, and social growth. Most importantly, I genuinely love children and treat every child in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Families often describe me as trustworthy, proactive, and deeply invested in their children’s well-being. I strive to be someone both parents and children feel completely comfortable with, and I take pride in being a positive, reliable presence in a family’s daily life.
