My love for working with families has a long history. Five years ago, while I was studying to become a mental health counselor for children and adolescents, I found that I gained satisfaction not only from assisting people in the office, but also in their home lives. I started work as an au pair shortly afterwards. Drawing from both my psychological background and my innate love for children, I have helped almost a dozen families with child-rearing, house keeping, and home instruction. I aim to be firm, fair, and consistent in my duties and provide a warm, nurturing presence.
