Hello! With over 16 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a deep passion for child development along with the professionalism and flexibility to support high-profile, domestic and international families. I specialize in caring for infants, with a strong focus on sleep training, feeding routines, and daily schedules. Often with infant and school-age children, — supporting multiple children across different ages. I’m known for creating calm, engaging, and enriching environments where children thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively. My style is hands-on, warm, and imaginative. I love involving children in outdoor play, creative art projects, theatre games, children's cooking lessons, and music appreciation—offering thoughtful, developmentally appropriate alternatives to screen time. Whether it’s an afternoon in the park or discovering a new museum, I believe in learning through exploration and joy. Over the years, I’ve supported families during domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, and temporary relocations. Whether you need support for a weekend, a full day, overnight, or longer-term coverage while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, professional, discreet, high-standard tailored to your family’s lifestyle. I’ve led children’s art and theatre programs in California and Wisconsin (YMCA art programs) and have consistently received glowing feedback for my calm presence, reliability, and genuine love for children. I’m happy to assist with light cooking, routines, bedtime, and stepping in whenever life demands extra hands. Please note: I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary depending on infant care, number of children, weekday, weekend, and evening needs. I’m open to short-term bookings, temporary full-time, weekends, and travel, depending on availability. If you're seeking a kind, trustworthy, and experienced caregiver who brings warmth, structure, and creativity to your child’s day—I’d love to connect.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training    •   Master’s Degree in Elementary Education    •   Certified Lifeguard (past)    •   CPR & First Aid knowledge    •   Strong classroom management and communication skills    •   Experience with children from infants to pre-teens     I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.
