More About Me

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

As an auntie of several (7 months-11 years), I currently provide childcare for 6 children, 5 days a week. My duties include: homework (reading, writing, math), teacher check-ins, field trip chaperone, transportation to/from school and extracurricular activities, meal provision (I love cooking!), household cleaning, changing diapers, nap time, movie nights, bedtime stories and overall nurturing.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Painting/Art, building forts, teaching/helping with homework, playing games, using our imagination.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is the child or children’s perspective. Does the child feel comfortable, heard, nurtured? Do they seem to be progressing in any way? Are they expressing positive behavior and habits? Each of these questions are directly correlated with the nanny’s influence. It is important to me to fulfill the needs of the child, full-court. Or in other words, beyond the basics of making sure they are fed and without broken bones. A nanny should make it a priority to learn the child and connect with them on a meaningful level. That approach is imperative in becoming the “stand-in” figure that is a nanny’s role in a family dynamic.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with caring for children on the autistic spectrum, neurodivergency such as ADHD/ADD, as well as unique learning needs such as dyslexia.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My oldest nephew (11 yrs old) has a new interest in basketball. He was so excited to master dribbling but was having trouble shooting the ball. We practiced together and with encouragement, he made his first three! He immediately ran to me and hugged me while saying “WOAH! How did I do that? How did YOU know I could do that?!”. I encourage each of them to pursue their talents, whatever that might be depending on the week, and I love instilling in them that they can and will achieve anything they set their heart on. It was nice to know that he really does receive and internalize my love and encouragement—so much so that it reassures/motivates him. Moments like those are truly priceless.
