A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Avery! I’m a professional nanny with over five years of experience, i have knowledge in newborn care, safe sleep, and early childhood development. I have worked extensively with infants, as well as children and adults with special needs, providing compassionate, patient-centered care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
I’m passionate about creating nurturing, joyful environments where little ones can grow and thrive.
My background includes creating safe, nurturing environments for infants, fostering developmental growth through structured play and attentive caregiving. With special needs clients—both children and adults—I’ve developed strong skills in behavior management, communication support, and adaptive care techniques. I take pride in promoting independence, inclusion, and dignity in all my interactions.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

volunteer work with children and adults with Down Syndrome

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy so many activities. curating personalized daily activities based on the child's needs is so important. Some activities include blowing bubbles, riding bikes or scooters, playing hide and seek, having a picnic, gardening, visiting a playground, going on a nature walk, and making obstacle courses.
I also love indoor activities such as building forts with blankets and pillows, playing dress-up, baking, arts and crafts, coloring or painting, sensory activities, and dancing to music.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is the ability to create a safe, trusting, warm environment for not only the child but the family. Becoming an extension of the family is huge for me.

My experience with special needs children...

Becoming a teachers assistant for Special needs children was one of the most rewarding jobs I've done. Using visual aids, sign language, or assistive technology to helping students express themselves to guiding positive behavior, calming students, and reinforcing routines. I love helping and watching children develop into their own person.

The most important part about being a nanny...

hearing from the parents that the kids talk about me and miss me on my days off really warm my heart.

Hello,
I am a retired Flight Attendant of 30 years. I retired early, I was ready to be at home more. As a Flight Attendant I worked with many families helping them with their children and unaccompanied minors. I would pack extra coloring books, wings and activities to help entertain the kiddos.
Prior to my work as a Flight Attendant I have years of Camp Counselor experience day camps and overnight camps. Leading hikes, fire building, songs, arts and crafts, outdoor games, monitored swimming (at the time I was lifeguard certified) I truly enjoy working with kids both young and old. I myself raised four children.
I also have a copy of my latest background check.
That’s a little bit about me and what I could offer your family.
