About me

I am originally from San Francisco, I have a sister who I'm very close to, plus two of our cousins who we've grown up with like siblings. As I child I loved playing with babies and dolls, playing house, any kind of art project, and cooking. I went to UCSC and majored in International Politics, plus a year abroad in Paris where I studied politics but also fashion illustration. (Really fun!). Since graduation, I have mainly nannied and have been a family and personal assistant for celebrities and Hollywood professionals, mostly helping with branding, and creative projects they had, from scriptwriting to creating a YouTube channel, or merch. Being around kids makes me the happiest, and I always come back to it, while often pursuing my own artistic endeavors on the side, like a children's book. I find my skills perfectly align with nannying, and it's a natural fit.

I have worked with children, as a mother's helper, babysitter, nanny, summer camp counselor, lifeguard, family assistant, and full-time nanny since age 11. One role was a nanny to a single-parent household with a two-month-old and a two-year-old. I did everything from bottle prepping and feeding, cooking, bath time, and bedtime, to playing, adventures in the back yard and the park, imagination games, art, and many, many forts. Another I was with for five years, starting when the kids were two and five, and I acted as a third parent; potty training, applying to preschool and kindergarten, medical and dental appointments, extracurriculars, scheduling, playdates, games, projects (science and art) traveling, (make-believe or around the world), and much more. They joked that I was their "Mary Poppins," and we have remained close. The kids are 14 and 17 now and I love seeing the wonderful people they have grown into. I have had Hollywood jobs that had requirements specific to each family, whether the kids were under six or tweens, but I've always been able to handle any sort of social situation, including creating and hosting parties, to last-minute creative thinking while abroad, all with a big smile.

Additionally, I speak English, some French, and a little Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
