A Bit About Me
My husband and I have five kids. They range in ages from 4-17. We are lucky to have each of them. We have lived in Oregon for 13 years now and love the Pacific Northwest. We are proud to call this our home.
I have worked with kids all my life. In my family, I am the youngest child of 8. With this came an opportunity for lots of nieces and nephews for me to take care of. I loved babysitting from the time I was 12 years old and I continued in this field as a full time nanny through high school. I then went off to school to study education and worked in a pre-school. After Mike and I were married, I worked in a preschool and was a full time nanny again. I have always loved children and have always been fascinated by their little personalities.
