Contact

My approach to care is hands-on, imaginative, and grounded in kindness. I love helping kids and pets feel safe, engaged, and understood — whether that means encouraging a child’s independence or making sure a shy pup feels right at home.

Abstract Background

I’m 34 years old and currently spending six months in the beautiful Mendocino area as a California State Parks volunteer, alongside my partner and our two senior dogs, Maisy and Sadie. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education and have over 10 years of experience caring for children in a variety of roles — including nanny, educator, camp counselor, preschool teacher, and youth activities leader on a cruise ship.

When I’m not working or volunteering, I love starting the day with a walk along the coast with our dogs, exploring new trails, or hunting for wildflowers. I’m passionate about creating calm, joyful spaces — whether that’s through caring for kids, helping families feel supported, or making sure a pet feels happy and at home.
