A little bit about me

I'm a compassionate, energetic, and dependable childcare provider with several years of experience working with children of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish! I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy building meaningful connections with children, getting to know their individual personalities, and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. My skills include planning age-appropriate activities, maintaining routines, communicating efficiently with parents, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, and prioritizing children's safety and well-being. I would love the opportunity to become someone your children feel comfortable with and your family can depend on.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting relationship with each child and making sure they feel safe, valued, heard, and respected, supporting them to grow into the best versions of themselves, while also encouraging them to just be a kid. I believe children should be treated as their own individuals, with their own personalities, feelings, interests, and perspectives. It's important to me to take the time to understand each child, encourage their independence, support their emotional and developmental growth, and create an environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I also believe consistency, patience, and maintaining routines are essential to helping children feel secure. Ultimately, I want to be someone children can depend on, learn from, laugh with, and feel genuinely cared for by.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children and children with learning disabilities ranges from Elementary School Students - through offering guidance and support with emotional regulation, and support in educational settings - to High School students through programs such as Unified Sports, as well as volunteering at care facilities for adults with disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment while working with kids was at the end of my Child Psychology Intern program, at the end of the school year, when I was able to see how much the student I had been working with had grown from the beginning. We worked one-on-one for the duration of the program, and I supported her with challenges that came with learning disabilities. She grew tremendously in the few months we worked together, going from barely being able to spell her name to writing full sentences answering the daily prompt. On the last day of the program she gave me a card thanking me for being the only grown up in her life that cared about her and listened to what she had to say. It solidified how much I cared about her and her growth educationally, socially, and emotionally. Seeing her note, and knowing how hard she worked to write it out, as well as the vulnerability that came with her expressing her emotions to me, meant the world to me, and I knew I was meant to work with kids in the future.

Hi, my name is Grace!
I’m 30 years old, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, outside, with my cat(Henry), I like to cook and clean too!

I have worked with kids from 3months old-12 year olds and did that for 7 years in several different daycares. Before that I always was the one helping take care of or play with the kids at school, church, in my neighborhood, and would often babysit for people from ages 12-17 or so.
