I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. As long as I can remember I dreamed of being a mom. I surrounded myself with children. I began to babysit full time over the summers when I was only 11 years old. Starting with two little girls named Mindy and Heather, who lived just down the street. I spent several evenings and weekends watching friends and neighbors children while I was growing up. I thoroughly enjoy reading, singing, playing and teaching children of all ages. I was lucky enough to fall in love with my husband who feels the same way that I feel. He also had six nieces and nephews which we spent lots of time with through the years. While we were in college we would have them come and stay weekends with us and give them our full attention as they have so much to share. I also love the outdoors and exploring nature. I am creative and love arts and crafts. After we had our second child, I was able to stay home with my children.

Mindy has been our family's nanny for 6.5 years now. She has taken care of our twin girls since they were 7 months old, and has been with our 3rd child since she was born. She is always on time and always in a good mood. She is friendly and caring, and extremely patient and kind to our children. She has helped them learn and grow so much over the years. She is so helpful around the house - doing laundry, dishes, organizing, and so much more. She helps drive the girls to and from school and run errands if needed. She is full of energy and easily keeps up with young kids all day. There are endless good things I could say about her, but the most important thing is that she has been the biggest blessing to our family during a very difficult time of life trying to work and raise 3 small children. She was someone we could always depend on and she made it easy for us. Your family would be lucky to have her as your nanny.
