ABOUT ME
Obscenely experienced, deeply intuitive, and grounded in the Medical Medium® lifestyle for over 8 years, I am a professional nanny, household manager, and private chef with over 30 years of experience working with children, including 15 years in full-time, in-home roles.
Specializing in the first three years of life, nervous system regulation, and deeply aligned caregiving, I bring calm, grounded support, phenomenal cooking skills, and a joyful, intuitive presence into the home. I’ve worked with newborns, neurodivergent kids, and sensitive children navigating illness—and I consistently create safe, connected, magical, nature-rich spaces where children feel curious, capable, and deeply loved.
Skilled in the MM lifestyle, from healing foods to supplements to environmental detox. Experienced in both domestic and international travel, supporting high-functioning homes with grace, humor, and clarity. Known for bringing peace, magic, and truly exceptional care into every home I enter.
I’m open to relocation worldwide and calling in my next fully aligned position—one that honors my extensive experience with thoughtful compensation, housing and vehicle provided, and a schedule that allows me to bring my full energy, presence, and joy.
