I’m 27 years old and very much a kid at heart. I’m a big Disney lover and enjoy bringing creativity, play, and a positive attitude into everything I do with kids. I have two dogs and love being outdoors, whether that’s hiking, camping, or spending time outside staying active. I was an athlete for 16 years, so movement and physical activity are a big part of my life. I enjoy encouraging kids to stay active through play, outdoor time, and age-appropriate activities while also making sure they feel supported and safe. I’m currently a second-year Occupational Therapy Doctorate student at West Coast University. My education has given me a strong understanding of child development, routines, and how to support children’s independence in a positive and encouraging way. At this time, I’m looking to nanny for a family who needs help in the afternoons, preferably after 4:00 pm once I’m done with school. I’m dependable, energetic, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
