  About Me
 
I love being part of the family and being a "third parent". I have fun all day everyday. What more could I want in a job. I get very close with families I work for and still keep in touch with all of them. I have a lot of experience in many areas. You name it, I have done it. I am super confident in my work ability. I am easy going and patient but also firm. I love being friends with the kids as long as they show me respect. I have never had an issue with that. I love to let loose and see the world through their eyes.
