 One interesting fact about yourself:

My great, great, great, great, great, GREAT grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence!


If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would it be, and why?

Chris Pratt, from the TV show Parks and Rec. His character Andy makes me laugh SO hard. I love to laugh so I would think dinner would be pretty entertaining!


It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day?

Grab brunch, lay on the couch watching my favorite shows on Netflix, then make a big dinner with friends and catch up over dinner.


What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child while working for SMS?

A little boy was watching me change his baby sister's messy diaper and shouted, "I think she exploded!"


When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be?

When I was little I wanted to be a pop star, but I quickly got over it after I realized I can't sing on key and have terrible stage fright.


If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick three things to bring with you, what would they be?

I would bring a cell phone to call for help, a long book to pass the time, and a snack....I can't go longer than a few hours without snacking on something...preferably goldfish crackers!


What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

Once our nanny took us to the zoo and my little sister left her baby doll in the car. It was a really hot day, and when we got back the doll's head was melting! She spent all afternoon doing emergency surgery on "Cupcake," who thankfully made it through after a lot of band aids were applied!


What has been your most memorable experience while working with SMS?

I really cherish the close relationships that form with the families I sit regularly for. It's so fun to catch up on what has happened between visits and to be able to watch the kids as the grow up.
