First of all, I am a single mom. I retired from the medical field in 1999 to work at my daughter’s daycare, where I started as a temp and soon became the lead infant teacher in the nursery. I loved the work so much that I chose not to return to the hospital and instead began a career in Early Childhood Education. For seven years, I cared for four infants daily, trained new teachers, and helped oversee the care of ten additional infants. In 2008, one of our daycare families hired me as their private nanny, and I’ve continued supporting families throughout the west county area of St. Louis ever since. I truly enjoy helping families with newborns and toddlers—it’s both fascinating and deeply rewarding. I understand the emotions new moms face when returning to work and leaving their infants with someone new; I went through the same thing when Read more my daughter was only three months old. I have college credit hours in Early Childhood Education and have successfully taught preschool curriculum to groups of six toddlers. I’m experienced with all aspects of newborn and infant care, including bottle-feeding (breast milk and formula), baby food, diapering, swaddling, sleep training, and supporting developmental milestones. I’ve helped many infants learn to crawl, talk, and walk—yes, they often say “DaDa” first! I believe in maintaining a consistent daytime schedule and keep a detailed daily log for parents, covering diapers, feedings, and meals. I also have experience caring for newborn twins. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 16 years of full-time experience as an infant nanny. I plan to continue caring for babies for as long as I am physically able, as I truly can’t imagine doing anything more fulfilling.
