I’m a full time nanny and am new to the area. I don’t have a lot of “weekend families” here so I’m trying to find some families to work with to fill up my weekends and days off! I have over 8 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, cheerleading and gymnastics coach, swim instructor, and am currently in classes pursuing a kinesiology major with an early childhood education minor! I also love pets and have experience dog walking and pet sitting!

Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, guiding behavior, or simply being a calm presence, I treat every child with the highest level of care and respect. I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported—and it’s an honor for me to help create that environment.I'm eager for the opportunity to share my heart and experience with your family.
