More About Me

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

In addition to raising my own five children, l operated a licensed daycare for over 15 years, caring for up to five children at a time-from as young as two weeks old to age four and beyond. I provided full-time care, structured routines, developmental activities, and prepared nutritious meals and snacks daily.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading with children, exploring nature, dancing, singing songs, arts and crafts, and engaging in imaginative play. I also enjoy organizing simple learning activities and sensory play tailored to their age and developmental stage.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building trust
—with the children and the parents. Creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel seen, heard, and cared for lays the foundation for their confidence and development.

My experience with special needs children...

While running my daycare, I
cared for children with a range of developmental delays and sensory processing challenges. I believe in adapting to each child's individual needs and strengths and partnering closely with families to provide consistent, patient, and supportive care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was helping a shy toddler blossom into a confident little leader. Seeing her light up with pride after learning to put on her own shoes and helping younger kids made me feel proud to be part of her growth.
