About Justine

Rooted in Experience. Guided by Faith. Focused on Your Child.

I’m a professional nanny with 12 years of experience in childcare, including 7 years as a full-time nanny and a background in preschool teaching. I specialize in infant and toddler care with an approach that is rooted in Christian values, gentle parenting, emotional intelligence, and screen-free, play-based learning. I believe the early years are foundational to a child's development, shaping their confidence, security, and self-expression. I approach childcare with respect for these formative years, creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that fosters growth and exploration.

Christ-Centered Nurturing

“Train up a child in the way he should go…” – Proverbs 22:6
I believe children are a gift from God, and I approach childcare with patience, grace, and prayer. My care is rooted in Christian values, modeling love, discipline, and joy. Helping each child discover their identity and confidence in a nurturing, spiritually grounded environment.

Past Families

“Justine was our full-time nanny for 4 years starting when my first born was 4 months old, through the birth of our second child, and into toddler hood. I can't really express in this limited space what Justine means to our family, but I will try. She is calm and patient, yet sets and holds firm boundaries. She was willing to learn with me as I figured out my parenting style and the various approaches we ended up following (gentle parenting, baby led weaning, etc). She is an excellent and careful driver and hauled my kids all over Atlanta to museums, music classes, playgrounds, and libraries. Justine is incredibly creative and would create games, lessons, and crafts to play with the kids. She constantly talked and read to my kids which I am convinced helped form the incredible vocabulary and early reading skills my kids have today. Overall, we feel so lucky to have had her in our life for so long - she is truly a special and gifted caregiver."

“Justine is currently our full-time nanny and we could not be more pleased with her. She always arrives early, does an amazing job with our 3-month old, and has stayed late to accommodate our crazy schedules when needed. She is very calm and does not get flustered easily, yet is very detail oriented and pays extreme attention to detail. She sends us pictures and updates throughout the day and always makes sure we are kept in the loop. She has worked with our daughter to meet developmental milestones, has loved on her, and has always cared for her like her own child. We could not ask for a better nanny and we feel so lucky to have found her. We would highly recommend her."
