ABOUT
St. Petersburg Newborn Care Specialist, Night Nanny, and Certified Postpartum Doula
With over 8 years of combined experience as a Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist, I specialize working with children from birth through early childhood, blending my background in infant-toddler development with a strong understanding of early childhood educations and child psychology to deliver the highest standard of care. I’m deeply committed to fostering secure attachments, child-led learning, and creating experiences that nurture each child’s growth, independence, and natural curiosity. Known for my professionalism, adaptability, and collaborative mindset, I thrive in fast-paced, high-expectation households and look forward to contributing meaningfully within a dynamic family structure.
