Eclectic, well-mannered, tidy, friendly, and respectful individual. I love music, art, and making things with my hands. I enjoy learning about various topics both past and present as well as cultures and histories.

I've been a freelance nanny since 2015, and a professional nanny since 2004. In addition to being great with kids, animals and adults, I enjoy cooking, helping people in and around their homes, and bringing good vibes.

I love to travel, see new sights, and meet wonderful people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here as a past traveler/ couchsurfer. I like when I get to reconnect with past couchsurfers of mine. I wish I could host people nowadays, but my roommate is not comfortable with it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love and appreciate all genres of music. I grew up on RockNRoll, jazz, RnB, and dance music, but I also love music from all over the world. I love rhythm and dance, especially any kind of live music or performance.
I don't have too many "favorites" since I believe "variety is the spice of life!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides sky diving.. hmm.. venture off into the Sierra mountains by myself for a couple of days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, drums and percussion, and how to make homemade foods. I am a professional childcare provider and am great with kids. I am very handy and good in most areas. I consider myself a modern day Renaissance woman.

I like to learn and practice as many languages as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company. Smiles; laughs! Courtesy and respect. Friendliness. Authenticity. Perhaps a good story or two. Cooking? Good conversation. Information about California and the west coast (Oregon, Washington; Vancouver). Share music? Dancing?
If I have my frame drum, I am happy to play and sing too. :)
