I am a former professional swimmer as well as a current academic and a well experienced home cook who enjoys preparing healthy, homemade meals. In my free time, I like to explore new recipes and experiment with trying new grocery stores and recipes. I have a dream of one day opening a small bakery when I retire. I'm an animal lover, dogs are a bonus! I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors as hiking and being near the water are two of my favorite activities. I also have my boating license and enjoy fishing as a hobby. Overall, I lead an active, nature-oriented lifestyle and am passionate about nutrition and wellness. I would be excited to bring my culinary skills and love of the outdoors to support a family as a nanny.

During the summer of 2023, I had the privilege of serving as a full-time nanny for a delightful 3-year-old named Alina, while her parents pursued their academic endeavors as faculty members at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. In this role, I provided attentive and nurturing care, ensuring Alina's safety and well-being while engaging her in stimulating activities and educational exercises. Drawing from my background as a former professional swimmer, I also had the opportunity to offer Alina private swim lessons, fostering her water safety skills and igniting her passion for swimming. Through imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and structured learning experiences, I cultivated a supportive environment that nurtured Alina's curiosity and growth. Building a strong rapport with both Alina and her parents, I facilitated open communication and trust, resulting in a rewarding and enriching caregiving experience that I hold dear.
