  • About Me

    I love kids and I love being someone they can look up to, respect, and want to be around. I pride myself on having the ability of knowing when to be an elder and when to be a friend, to build the structural and disciplined relationship between a child and adult that kids unknowingly crave.

    After professionally coaching snowboarding for 5 years and working with kids ranging from 3 - 17, I've experienced every kid. And while having to not only gain their trust but teach them something as well and make it fun - I've learned all the tricks in all the books.

    I've also nannied for two families post coaching and couldn't imagine my life without having had done so. The joy it brought me seeing their faces light up when I arrived and the joy it brought their parents being able to leave the house and enjoy themselves - always a great feeling - for both parties.
