Early Childhood Nanny & Newborn Care Specialist

a brief bio

I found so much joy in being a nanny for over 15 years, however, after becoming a mother myself, I realized the importance of having support through the postpartum period. Since 2022, I have had the honor of providing support to families as they navigate the blessing of welcoming a new member to their family. I enjoy being someone that parents can trust to relinquish the responsibilities of parenting to long enough so they can get a good night rest. And all of the adorable newborn snuggles are an added bonus!
