I grew up here in WNC but have been living in San Francisco for the past twenty years. My husband and I recently relocated back to Mills River. We were looking for a slower pace of life and love the mountains. My focus in the past years have been obtaining a certificate in early childhood education, which has evolved into a hopeful nursing degree to work in pediatrics. I have worked with children for many years as a personal nanny. I have had a variety of positions. I have been a full time day nanny. While I was in day classes I worked strictly date nights. I worked a standing five-six nights a week. I started a garden education program for Prek-5th grade. I am passionate about food and being healthy. I have always kept my relationships with my families and believe that it is an important aspect to childcare. Read more I love watching the children grow and blossom. I am currently working in an office environment that is less than desirable. I am hopeful to find the right family and transition back to a position that I find fulfilling and meaningful.
