Hello! I have 21 years of experience caring for children in center based environments (ages 6 weeks-5 years), individually as a nanny (several of those years have been spent as an infant/toddler nanny), through evening and weekend babysitting jobs with children ages 2 weeks-17 years, doing overnights with various ages, doing before/after school care for 3 years, and working in after school programs. I have also taken child development classes, so I know where kids are at developmentally, and am able to tailor activities to enhance their learning. I love watching children learn and being part of that process. Kindness, tolerance, and respect for each other and the world around us is important to me, so I look for teachable moments to convey that.

Jada has been incredible with my now 11 year old son, we've been with her for nearly two years. My son has ADHD and anxiety, and at times can struggle with self-regulation. Jada is very patient and has connected with him when he at times can have trouble connecting with people. She is incredibly kind and he looks forward to his time with her. As a single mother, she's been so great with everything from days during the summer, to evenings/nights for when I have work functions or need a night out with friends, to staying overnight. She's always on time and incredibly communicative and easy to work with, it's been such a relief to have such a reliable and caring person in my and my son's lives.
