About Natalie

From sports, crafts, board games, reading, puzzles and music, I'm an imaginative and adventurous caregiver who enjoys engaging children in hands-on play and learning. In 2023, I embarked on a 9-month mission trip to Guatemala, Asia, and Africa, working primarily in children's ministry. The following summer, I was a camp counselor for Brenham Next's JAM program. My experience in children's ministry as a Christian missionary has made me a creative and adaptable caregiver, equipped to care for a variety of children and their needs with compassion and patience. I highly value parents' God-given role in being the primary source of guidance, protection, and provision for their children. So when it comes to discipline, schedules, and electronic use, I adhere to the parents' values, rules, and consequences. I am more than willing to assist families with homework, meal preparation, and day-to-day chores in the home. And because I'm CPR certified, I'm ready to act in the event of an emergency.
