More About Me

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

Over the past two years, I’ve worked as an au pair in the U.S. for two wonderful families, gaining valuable experience with children of different ages. With my first family, I cared for a 4-month-old baby and an 18-month-old toddler, supporting their early development through sensory play, outdoor time, and healthy routines. With my current family, I care for four children aged 1, 3, 5, and 7, managing afternoon and evening routines, creative activities, homework help, and meal preparation. I also assist with light housekeeping and occasional overnight care, ensuring a warm, balanced home environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

The activities I love doing with kids include creative and hands-on projects, storytelling, sensory play, simple cooking, outdoor walks, and moments of discovery in nature. I enjoy creating experiences that inspire curiosity, independence, and joy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is knowing that you’re helping shape the foundation for who children will become as adults. Every word, action, and experience contributes to their growth, confidence, and kindness. I believe that through patience, love, and consistency, we can nurture not only happy children but also compassionate and confident future adults.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children includes caring for a child with ADHD. I focused on creating a calm, structured, and positive environment to help him feel secure and confident. Through patience, consistency, and engaging activities, I supported his focus, self-expression, and emotional regulation, always adapting routines to his individual needs and working closely with the parents to ensure continuity and balance.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was watching the little girl I cared for since she was 4 months old grow and reach her milestones — her first smile, her first steps, and her first moments of independence. It was truly special to see her trust me more each day as we built a warm and genuine bond together.
