Why I founded PoolNannies™

I have been providing professional lifeguarding services since 2021.


During this time I have become aware of some disturbing statistics: (1) drowning is a leading cause of death for children, (2) having more adults poolside does not lower the risk of drowning – in fact it’s the opposite, and (3) a child can drown in seconds, often silently. (See the Stats page for more information.)


I wanted to find a way to help prevent someone’s celebration or happy get together from turning into tragedy and loss. My experience as a professional lifeguard repeatedly demonstrated to me the lifesaving benefits of having a trained person on guard at a pool even when vigilant parents and caregivers are present and I wanted to make this service available to families and individuals inviting others to enjoy their pools.

Don’t forget to invite the elements of safety to your pool party!
