I'm a proud mama of five (3 at home), so to say I can multitask, handle a chaotic schedule, and stay perfectly calm under pressure is a bit of an understatement! I’ve been babysitting since middle school and have over 4 years of formal, paid experience caring for families. Because I’m passionate about understanding how kids think and grow, I’ve completed college coursework toward a BA in Psychology, along with professional RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) and CNA training. This means I bring a deep understanding of behavior management, developmental milestones, and professional safety right into your home. I am also CPR trained, so you can truly relax knowing your little ones are in incredibly safe, capable hands. I love being active with children - whether we are diving into creative arts and crafts, playing outside, or tackling homework together. I’m also more than happy to help keep your household running Read more smoothly by jumping in with cooking, meal prep, and light cleaning or organizing. Bonus: I am a total animal lover, so if you have furry family members, they will get plenty of love and attention too! I treat every family I work with with the same care, dedication, and warmth that I give to my own, and I’d love to help give you total peace of mind while creating a fun, structured, and safe environment for your kids.
