About Me

For as long as I can remember I have always been captivated by children. As I grew up, that fascination led to babysitting, getting a BS in Child Development with an emphasis in Young Children and Families from San Francisco State University, and then being formally trained as an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Lactation Counselor and Certified Postpartum Doula. Studying child development allowed me to understand children and why they do the things they do. Over the past 20 + years I have worked with children and families in both a child development center setting, as a lead teacher and Site Supervisor, as well as a full-time professional nanny for numerous families with multiple children, including multiples and children with special needs. It was through this work that I discovered my passion for helping parents understand their children, and giving them the knowledge and tools to feel confident as parents, leading me to found Crib Notes Consulting. I value building a strong connection with families and becoming a trusted, experienced source of information and support that parent’s can lean on for years to come.  My goal is to partner with families and provide them with the knowledge and guidance they need to make parenting decisions they feel good about.

In my free time I’m continuously educating myself on best practices in child development and parenting, and taking any opportunity to hike, exercise, and generally enjoy the outdoors, especially the water.
