About me

Originally from California, I am an active, creative, and fun Nanny / Educator / Social Worker in Training. I am currently in graduate school working towards my Masters in Clinical Social Work, part time. In about 2 years time I will be a therapist for Kids! For now though, nannying part time is a very fun job for me to have while in school. Also, when you are learning about the developing brain and child psychology in a textbook; it's fun to be around kids to see their fascinating personalities emerging in real time.

Prior to starting grad-school I was an actor! I studied musical theater in college, so I am always willing to sing, dance and play pretend. I have taught theater, dance, clowning, and music in public schools, for non-profits, and for regional theaters. I love to be silly and play games and feel that it's often the best way to learn.

I understand the special role of being welcomed into someone’s home. I understand how important it is for parents to be able to trust that their kids are in good hands and I think it's important to keep communication lines very open with parents. I feel consistency is essential so I will always default to you on what you think is best so that we can keep boundaries consistent. I geek out on lot of parenting content because of my social work career, but respect that every family has a different style and I am happy to adapt.

My goal as a nanny is always to be caring and supportive while striving to keep kids mentally and creatively active - rather than turning on the television. I love to take kids on adventures and want to help them learn and discover new things every day. I also want to encourage them to find the things that they are passionate about, and pursue them. Mostly though I just want them to see me as someone who they can confide in, who won't judge them, and who they can go to if they need something. I am extremely patient, warm, and silly.
