ABOUT ME
I'm drug free, smoke free, alcohol free
I live a plant based/vegan/medical medium lifestyle
I'm a clean, responsible & respectful guest
I love and appreciate meeting new people and learning new things.

I have been a nanny, mother's helper, pet sitter, house sitter, and an in-home caregiver for communities and families in Arizona and Wisconsin since 2009.
As a Passionate Helper, I am flexible and like to meet individual's needs where I can.

I have been renovating my childhood home in Wisconsin Dells to prepare for airbnb/couchsurfing opportunities.

I grew up in a family of six kids out in the country just outside of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
When we moved to town I babysat in the neighborhood and started working summers as a busser/server/hostess for local family restaurants and tour guide/office assistant for the Original Wisconsin Duck Tours, lifeguard for local waterpark resort, wellness representative for local health food sore.
It was always so wonderful to meet all the different tourists from different states and countries and now the Wisconsin Dells hosts international students from different parts of the world to work during the summers.

I love school/education and continuing to grow
I enjoyed being on the Varsity football cheerleading squad, dance squad, track team, weightraining, summer swim team, but my favorite was gymnastics.

I traveled to England and Scotland for a class trip with my mother, aunt & cousin. That started my love and desire to travel the world someday.
I was top 10 in my graduating class of 1998

I went to college for fitness and nutrition and ran track at LaCrosse, Wisconsin

In-home Nannying, pet& housesitting has given me the opportunity to live in different parts of Arizona, Washington, Florida and Wisconsin.

My first experience with couch surfing was a roadtrip from Florida to Massachusetts with a friend and we had the most wonderful hosts, great memories & positive experiences.

Once I came back to Wisconsin again it inspired me to someday give back in the same way when I can.

Some of my interests are to travel and explore the outdoors & nature, culture & people....i love hiking, sunrises/sunsets, dark sky places,yoga/meditation,organic farms/food forests,gardening, volunteering, kids outdoor education , animals, women's circles,drum circles, campfires, team work, spiritual retreats, retreating to our family lakehouse as much as I can and spending time relaxing/reflecting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had such a wonderful experience traveling abroad in college and staying with families throughout the years. When I found out about Couchsurfing, I thought it was such a beautiful vision and I love the way we can all connect… ☺️
