About me

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege to work as a babysitter, nanny and au pair for many families, mainly on a 2 year+ basis. My childcare experience began babysitting for a 3 year old who lived down the street. After this, my youngest sister was born and due to challenging circumstances within our family I was given a great amount of responsibility in caring for her. Although this was a difficult time it really opened the door for me to understanding the development of an infant into a toddler, child and teenager.

Over the years I was able to step into varied positions -- full time, part time and temporary -- special occasions like travel, band tours and temporary relocation to assist families in moves and other major lifetime events or challenges. Being around children for so long has brought me much joy and laughter, and has been a lifelong learning experience.

I am a patient, understanding, reliable and caring person. These qualities show through in all the work I do, whether in childcare, household help and errands or my position at an arts foundation where I interact with visitors ranging from curious members of the public to VIPs. I am dedicated and attentive, these aspects relate to my work as an artist and writer, but I think they were first born out of my early childcare experience -- the rewarding nature of watching children develop and grow and understanding their steps along the way.

I am a generally curious and creative person who loves to meet new people, to have conversations, to learn and laugh. I've spent a significant amount of time living in Germany and this introduced me to a new side of culture and politics that I hadn't experienced before. All of these parts of my life have taught me how much the world can open up through new experiences and meeting new faces. I look forward to continuing this in meeting and caring for your child or children, through my work as childcare provider.
