About Natalie

Hello! I'm Natalie, a Petoskey native with a passion for childcare. With 17 years of babysitting experience & 7 of those years as a nanny for three wonderful families, I've had the joy of caring for children from ages 2 months to 13+ years old. My First Aid/CPR/AED Red Cross certification ensures that your child's safety (and your peace of mind!) is a top priority. Nannies grown to be extremely close to their families, and I've learned that an open dialogue benefits everyone! I like to spend a few minutes after my shift to discuss how the day went and address any noteworthy events. This helps build trust and ensures a a collaborative relationship with parents. Every child deserves to be treated with kindness, respect and compassion. I also know the importance of reading, making art, imaginary play and exploring nature. When I'm not working, I love singing & playing music, riding bikes, hiking and playing with my dogs.
