Hello! I recently relocated to Asheville to pursue a doctoral degree. I consider myself to be friendly, organized, and self motivated. As a sitter, I am happy to involve your kiddos in a wide variety of activities. I am comfortable working with food allergies, as well as meal prepping, cooking, and baking. I also grew up with a sibling who has autism and ADHD, so I am familiar with the different needs that children on the spectrum may have. Along with this, I am CPR/First Aid certified and used to work as a volunteer firefighter. Above all, I want you and your family to feel confident that those who mean the most to you are in safe and capable hands.
