About me

While the world is often described as being made up of hunters and gatherers, I have always been a fire tender. I am awake and alert through the night, tending to the quiet rhythms of sleep and the well-being of those around me. While families rest deeply and safely, I hold the space—watchful, calm, and present—so warmth, comfort, and care are never interrupted. Creating a peaceful nighttime environment where babies feel safe and comforted, and parents are able to rest and feel supported, is deeply fulfilling. Night work is sacred. It’s in these hours that healing happens, bonds are strengthened, and rest becomes truly restorative. As a night nanny, my role is to protect that rest, ensuring babies are soothed, parents can fully let go, and the household remains peaceful until morning. I tend the fire so your family can sleep. I’m often described as soft-spoken, skilled, and a little silly, and I bring warm, attuned, and gentle care into all of my work with children. Being trusted with such a quiet, intimate part of a family’s early journey feels very special, and I approach it with great respect, attentiveness, and care. I’ve worked with families for over 10 years and have an abundance of glowing references available upon request. I value open communication, collaboration, and consent based, gentle caregiving practices, and I prioritize finding a strong mutual fit with the families I support. My expertise is in multiples, trauma, premies, and infant health issues. Rest is waiting. Let me hold the night.
