Hi! Iβm a dedicated caregiver with 15+ years of varied professional and personal nannying/babysitting experience. Growing up as the oldest of seven children in a military family, caring for kids has been second nature to me my entire life. I combine my lifelong love for caregiving with some specialized professional experience to provide a safe, nurturing, and highly engaging environment for your children. What I bring to your family: developmental support, creative enrichment, newborn to teen expertise. I have also retaken CPR/AED classes recently.

Hello!I am a previous nanny (all through college) and am currently the mom to 4 amazing teens.I have a background in education, a Language Arts endorsement, and a Special Education endorsement.I own and operate a non-profit (Riptide Community Closet) that helps low-income families in the area cover costs and gear so all kids can participate in extracurricular activities.I absolutely love kids, and have a passion for working with them.I believe in joyful, well-rounded childhoods.I can guarantee dance parties, silly songs, cookie baking, lots of stories, and outside adventures.I am creative and flexible.21 years later, I STILL have a good relationship with the family I was a nanny for.I would prefer something part time or flexible schedule, as I am active in my own kids' lives- they just don't need me as much anymore!I also have the best husband, 3 indoor cats, 4 outdoor cats, and 8 chickens- so I am pet-friendly.

With over seven years of experience, I'm passionate about supporting families and providing a safe, reliable childcare option for their little ones. My background includes some college education and training in First Aid and CPR. I believe that every child is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at a time and am happy to assist with tasks like cooking, light housekeeping, and carpooling. I follow the parents' preferred communication method and always keep them informed about their child's day and any issues that arise. My patient and friendly nature, combined with my commitment to safety and child development, makes me an ideal choice for families seeking a trustworthy and experienced childcare provider.
