With over 20 years of experience caring for my nieces and nephew, I have developed a deep understanding of the needs of children at all stages, from newborns to teenagers. In addition to my personal experience, I have worked in developmental services for over 10 years, which has given me valuable skills in supporting individuals with disabilities, including autism. I am trained in First Aid with CPR, Safe Management, and American Sign Language (Level 2), and I apply these skills to ensure that children in my care feel safe, understood, and supported. I am committed to creating a positive, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves and developing their unique personalities. Whether through structured routines or open-ended activities, I encourage children to explore their interests while providing guidance when needed. I believe in the importance of building a trusting relationship with each child, where they feel respected, heard, and empowered. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with activities like horseback riding, hiking, and going to the beach. I’m also passionate about creativity—painting, singing, dancing, and attending plays and concerts are just a few of the ways I love to express myself. I bring patience, empathy, and a flexible approach to everything I do, always striving to create a space where children feel safe and can thrive.

I’m a caring nanny with over 20 years of experience helping raise my nieces and nephews... from newborn snuggles to teenage chats. I also have my DSW diploma and 10+ years working in developmental services, supporting kids and adults with autism, FASD, and other disabilities. I’ve worked as an Educational Assistant in a Grade 1 classroom, and I’m currently in the Registered Practical Nurse program. I hold a clean Vulnerable Sector Police Check, Basic Life Support, Standard First Aid with CPR & AED Level C (for Health Care Providers), Safe Management certification, and Level 2 American Sign Language. I love creating a safe, happy space where kids feel respected and can just be themselves. I’m big on balancing structure with lots of fun and creative play. Outside of work, you’ll find me horseback riding, hiking, at the beach, painting, dancing, or singing. I bring patience, calm energy, and a flexible attitude to every family I work with.
