I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares.

I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist.

I've loved caring for children for as long as I could remember. I started babysitting at 12 and as the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping care for younger children daily. 11 years as a mom myself, I truly understand children's needs at every stage and how important patience, structure and kindness are. I have experience with infants, including colicky babies, supporting children with attention, anxiety and behavioral challenges, as well as children with special needs. I'm calm, dependable, and very attentive, with a strong sense of empathy and understanding. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their little ones are in caring hands.

I’m the eldest of the children in my family, so I discovered my natural caregiving nature at a young age. I have been a caregiver of people ages 3 through 93! The elderly are such treasure troves of wisdom and history, and the children are good for my soul; they amuse me, surprise me and fascinate me. I like watching them grow, I like teaching them and getting the satisfaction that I have helped a young one learn learn. Currently I am caring for sisters—a three-year-old, and one who turned six years old last month. I most like to play and interact with them in way in which they learn. For example, the girls’ first language is English, and I am teaching them to speak Spanish. Of course, what I’m able to teach them depends on age and what a parent wants in that regard. I’m willing to do light housekeeping, and I am also an experienced house sitter and pet sitter. I’m extremely flexible, I have references, and I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to get acquainted with some parents to see if our needs mesh!
