Parenting with Biblical Truth, loving boundaries, and practical wisdom for everyday life. Rooted in 35 years of caring for children with faith, love, and purpose.
"I have spent 35 years in homes just like yours, holding newborns, raising toddlers, and guiding teenagers, and I've seen firsthand what makes the difference in a child's life. It starts at home. It starts with you.
As a certified professional nanny with over three decades of experience, I created It Starts at Home to equip parents with the tools, wisdom, and confidence to raise children rooted in faith, love, and purpose.
Because you don't have to figure this out alone. God called you to this. And He will equip you for it.
And I'm here to walk alongside you."
I travel to churches, ministries, mom groups, and conferences across the country to teach parents the practical wisdom of raising children rooted in faith. Two-hour interactive classes, one-hour keynotes, in-person or virtual.
Built for churches, conferences, and mom groups across the country.
Perfect for Sunday services, women's conferences, mom group nights, and special church events. A focused message rooted in scripture and three and a half decades of caring for children.
Designed to equip parents with practical strategies, tools, and confidence for everyday parenting challenges. Interactive, structured, and built to send people home with something they can use tomorrow morning.

Newborn to teenager. The questions every parent asks, addressed plainly.
I was born in the Philippines and raised around the world as the daughter of a United States Air Force serviceman who gave 23 years to his country. Moving from place to place taught me early that home isn't a location, it's the people you love and the faith you carry with you.
My father retired in Fort Worth, Texas, and it was there, at the age of 17, that I followed a quiet calling to care for children. In 1989, I enrolled at the Nanny Institute of Beverly Hills, completing a full year of training and my internship before earning my certification as a professional nanny.
Over 35 years, I had the profound privilege of helping raise more than ten infants and caring for countless children across America and around the world. I worked alongside dual-income families, stay-at-home parents, and single dads, adapting to each household while bringing the same steady love and devotion to every child.
In June 2025, after three and a half decades of service, I retired from nannying, not to rest, but to step fully into the next chapter God had been preparing for me.

"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
