Hi! Since I can remember, I loved being with kids. As soon as I was old enough, I took the babysitting course. From 12 years old through college, I babysat for several different families...many with whom my relationships remain close. After graduating from Northwestern University, before moving to Asia where I volunteered teaching English in Thailand and The Philippines, I nannied for three different families. The experience allowed me to see how various different parenting styles and family dynamics uniquely worked for each family. Fast forward several years and I am now a mother of two wonderful children, 12 years old and 10 years old. My children fulfill me, I love being a mommy. Friends of my kids would be the best reference for prospective nanny positions as they would attest to how active I am with my own kids and all their friends. I have experience, am responsible and Read more most importantly, I love children.

The kids had a blast with Ms. Penny! She took lots of initiative and always kept our two boys occupied, making it so much easier for me to put the kids down at night. Ms. Penny was a Godsend.
