With 35+ years of experience nurturing and caring for children, I truly love the opportunity to make a positive difference in a child’s life. After raising four amazing children of my own—including triplets—I’ve spent more than 10 years providing dependable, loving care for families. I hold a Montessori teaching degree and have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development. I am also current in First Aid and CPR. My approach to childcare is patient, nurturing, supportive, and fun. I love watching a child’s face light up when they learn something new or feel proud of an accomplishment. I’m comfortable caring for one or multiple children and can help with school pick-ups, activities, homework, and light housekeeping. I’m also happy to be part of a family with pets—I love animals! Having raised triplets, I’m very comfortable with multiples and the energy and organization they require. Most importantly, Read more I understand how important it is to parents to have someone they can trust and rely on. I would love the opportunity to partner with your family and provide your children with the caring, dependable, and engaging support they deserve. *I recently finished working with an Austin family and am currently available*
