Hello! I have always loved being with and caring for children. I have been nanny or in positions working with infants and children for over 30 years. I have been a live in, live out, and on-call nanny. I have over 25 years experience as a postpartum doula. I am comfortable with all ages of children and have 3 kids of my own - ages 22, 25, and 27. I also am a pet owner of 2 adorable Shih-Tzus and love animals! I also volunteer at my church. I believe that you as a parent know your children best, and I will follow the routines and rules you have for them. I will also offer them lots of attention, encouragement and positive affirmations. You won't be disappointed! (and neither will they!)
