I love to encourage curiosity, exploration, and excitement for learning in every child I spend time with.
My child care experience began when my younger sister was born - I was 10 years old. For the past 15 years, I have been helping to care for her and my other two young siblings who are now 10 and 11.

For the past 15 years, I have been helping to care for her and my other two young siblings who are now 10 and 11. Because I have been with them since they were born, I have experience will all ages. Around the age of 14 I began babysitting for other wonderful families and did so throughout high school and college. I also worked at an early learning center for 15 months, which was a valuable opportunity to gain more knowledge and experience in childcare and early education. Beginning August 2013 I spent 13 months traveling in Europe and during that time had the chance to nanny for two wonderful families: an Irish family with 2 girls in County Cork, and an American military family in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Most recently I worked as a house manager for a lovely couple who ran an in-home business, so my skills extend far beyond childcare to include organization, housekeeping, and cooking. I absolutely love working with kids of all ages and watching them explore the world.

What I love about this work
Children are wise in ways they do not even realize. They know things about the world that we often forget as adults. Children are fun, and open to all kinds of new experiences.
