I am a very fun, loving person—definitely a people pleaser. I grew up with 2 brothers, one older and one younger, so that taught me humility and how to love always, even when I didn’t think they deserved it! I have a large family that I am very close with and would do anything for. I am a Christian and I hold myself up to high standards and I believe I have very good morals as well. I am very responsible, very organized, and I take my job very seriously.

Growing up with young cousins and neighbors, I developed a love for children early on. I believe that love is the best teaching method, because children learn by example. If I show them love and respect, they learn from that and reciprocate. I want them to feel comfortable with me and most importantly to have fun with me. I will respect the rules you have both for them and myself, and will discipline them if need be. I love babysitting and nannying primarily because it gives me an excuse to be a kid again. Kids have it good—playing games, laughing, learning—and as much as I can provoke this and be a part of it, I will.

I graduated from California Polytechnic State University in June 2010 with a degree in Agricultural Business, concentrating in International Management. I love to travel and desire to see the world. This passion led me to spend the last year as an au pair in Paris, France. I was blessed with such a wonderful family to be a part of and am looking for another exciting adventure with another amazing family. I have also previously lived in Spain for 3 months doing a Spanish language program, so I have a generous knowledge of both the Spanish and French languages. I believe that the best way to fully experience the culture is through immersion, so I am looking for a family who will allow me to do just that. What better way to live than getting to help children learn and grow, while allowing them to teach me in return. I have a passion for cooking and singing and I am very active, so I would love to integrate these hobbies and characteristics into the household as well!
