About Me

At Footprints & Pawprints, childcare is more than supervision — it’s about creating a safe, loving space where children are seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

I provide reliable, compassionate childcare services for families who need dependable support, whether that’s in my home or in the comfort of yours. I work with children from newborn through 17 years old, offering flexible care options that fit modern family schedules, including part-time, occasional, and repeat care.

I believe every child deserves to feel secure, respected, and valued. My approach is rooted in patience, structure, and genuine connection, with a strong focus on safety, communication, and emotional well-being. I take pride in building trust not only with children, but with parents and guardians as well — because peace of mind matters.
