About Us

I am a Christian mother and wife, living and raising our child in a suburb of Austin, Texas.

I knew from a very young age that the work with children is my passion. In 2006 I started my first job as a church group leader for children aged 4 to 10. I loved it so much that I not only kept working with children but also earned a Bachelor's and Master of Education with a huge focus on child psychology. I worked in many daycare facilities, nanny positions, and school settings. I started my first teaching position in 2012 and haven't stopped teaching since. I completed training in child development, signs, and prevention of child abuse, different education styles like Waldorf and Montessori, child safety, and special needs. 

As a teacher, I gained experience with families from different cultures as I taught in Europe and the US in different private and public schools.

I share my passion for helping people with my husband Joshua, who is a US Army Veteran. Joshua started working as a government security contractor overseas after his time in the Army and gained valuable experience in working with different people from many different cultures. His time working overseas has allowed Joshua to obtain good skills in investigating and researching many different individuals. His ability to read people and his experience in doing detailed research help us to rule out or hire nanny candidates easily.

We both came with very different skills and educational backgrounds. We decided to combine our skills to help other families benefit from us. Starting First Choice has been a dream for both of us. We truly feel that God has brought us together as a couple and as business partners. We, together, bring unique skills and we want you as families and nannies to be able to benefit from our ability to bring families and nannies together - as a perfect fit!
