My greatest passion is positively impacting children and providing a safe space for them.For the past 10 years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages through structured programs, nannying and care and also have a 7-year-old boy. I hold a college degree, emphasized in youth and currently work part-time as a Children's Ministries Director at a church in Boise. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games and educational games with children, along with leading art projects and love being outside. I am First Aid/CPR certified.I believe in enforcing preferred household schedules and rules. I always follow parents' preferred method of communication regarding their child's day.

With over 5 years of nannying experience, caring for children is truly my passion. I have experience with children of all ages, but especially love working with infants and young children. I am CPR certified, dependable, energetic, and deeply committed to creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can thrive.I genuinely love building strong connections with every child I care for and embracing each of their unique personalities. Whether itβs trips to the library, park days, outdoor adventures, crafts, beach days, imaginative play, or simply spending quality time together at home, I always strive to make every day exciting, engaging, and full of positivity. I never get tired of creating meaningful experiences and memories with the children I work with.Families often describe me as nurturing, patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I care for children as if they were my own and pride myself on being someone both parents and children feel comfortable with. Along with childcare, Iβm also happy to assist with household tasks such as laundry, tidying up, dishes, meal prep, and light housekeeping during naps or downtime to help make life easier for busy families.I have many wonderful references from families Iβve worked with over the years, and nannying is honestly the most fulfilling work Iβve ever done. It is far more than just a job to me β itβs something I truly love and feel incredibly passionate about every single day.
