Hello! I'm a dedicated professional in the legal field, but my true passion lies in supporting families and caring for children. I've had the joy of helping to raise my two younger brothers and have nannied for multiple families with children ranging from infants to teenagers. I have experience with children on the autism spectrum and those with other special needs, and I approach every situation with patience and compassion. My goal is to ensure that both parents and children feel safe and cared for. As a babysitter, I love keeping parents in the loop by sending pictures and videos of their little ones—this way, you can feel connected and reassured that your child is thriving. With over 10 years of experience, I've built strong, lasting relationships with families and kids alike. I truly believe it takes a village to raise a child, and I’m here to provide that extra Read more support and relief whenever I can. I look forward to becoming a part of your family's village!
