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.
