I love helping families have some ease in their lives so they can spend quality time with their children. To this end, I provide a range of child care and administrative services.
Since I was a teacher, I am always interested in helping young minds develop. And I am passionate about making sure everyone has healthy food options, and time for exercise and play. I went to Junior Trials for the Olympics in swimming when I was in high school and have respect for the power of sports on young people.
I have a fair amount of experience caring for children and managing household tasks. I have current child and adult first aid and CPR certifications and a reliable RAV4; and a great driving record.
Oh, and I "speak" dog, and a (very) little Italian.
