I truly enjoy supporting families during those long nights and helping parents feel confident, rested, and at ease knowing their child is in loving and capable hands. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, especially in quiet overnight settings.In addition to overnight care, I’ve worked as a daytime nanny and regular babysitter, helping with routines, meals, playtime, organization, cleaning/laundry, moving, bedtime, and travel or vacation childcare. I also have experience in church daycare environments, maintaining a safe, structured, and fun space for kids.I bring a positive, energetic personality to every family I work with and genuinely love building connections with both children and parents. I’m currently seeking night nanny/night nurse and overnight positions, but I’m also open to evening, extended-hour, and occasional care. I look forward to helping families feel supported while creating a safe, nurturing environment for their little ones. I am also very comfortable working with older children (ages 2-17), planning age-appropriate activities such as crafts, outdoor play, games, homework support, and creative projects that keep kids engaged while maintaining structure and safety. I also love to play/watch sports, workout, and hangout with my family! I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Still Certified) and have extensive experience supporting children with special needs, behavioral support plans, and medical or developmental considerations. I approach every child with patience, empathy, and individualized care.I’m currently seeking night nanny/night nurse and overnight positions, but I’m also open to evening, extended-hour, and occasional care.
