I’m a proud mom of two amazing adult daughters and a stepmom to an energetic eleven-year-old son. With more free time now that my girls are grown (and as I not-so-patiently wait for grandkids, lol), I’m excited to spend more time doing something I’ve always loved: caring for children. While I’m not a career nanny, I’ve been caring for kids since my teenage years and have a lifelong passion for working with them. I have experience with multiples from my time working in a group home for children, where I cared for six children aged 1 to 5. I'm especially confident with infants and toddlers Over the years, I’ve helped raise nieces, nephews, and the children of friends, and I currently care for several toddlers and infants on a regular basis. I’m dependable, punctual, and great at managing a busy household. I connect well with kids of all ages, and Read more I pride myself on being fully present. I won’t be glued to my phone, but actively engaging with your child. And if you have pets, I’m an animal lover too!
