A little bit about me

I have genuine love and patience for children. I am dedicated to providing a safe, organized and stimulating environment for the children to participate in, as age appropriate. I have over two decades of experience with children 3 months old to 5 years old. I also have over 5 years of experience with children 6 years old to 12 years old.

I am a reliable, proactive and trustworthy individual who enjoys building and implementing curricula for children, as well as following a given curriculum. I’m a fun-loving, energetic and playful person who believes consistency is key to a healthy and active lifestyle for children.

I have a passion for the outdoors and creating different outdoor experiences for children and making it educational and fun, such as hiking trips where we examine and learn about different plant and insect life, scavenger hunts, cycling, swimming, playing sports, fishing, playing at the park, trips to the beach, making mud pies, gardening, photography… just to name a few.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I'd call this one of the most memorable moments.

I wasn't well one day. I was weak and exhausted but the family really needed me. I went with the understanding it'll be a laid back day. Stay inside and take it easy.

The infant was almost 18 months old. The infant made me a sandwich.
As I ate the sandwich, I thought to myself, wow I taught this infant well. I was honestly so proud of the infant and myself.

The infant got 2 slices of bread, went to the fridge and took out cheese slices, cold cuts, mustard (I was pleasantly surprised) and put it together and gave it to me.

My favorite, I use the library as a place to teach about safety and awareness. Ask me and I'll share.
