More About Me

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

9+ years of experience as a preschool and school-age teacher, leading classrooms for children ages 0-12.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love incorporating creative art projects like seasonal crafts, painting, and sensory play to encourage self-expression. I enjoy turning everyday moments into learning opportunities through songs, stories, and simple early learning games. I believe in plenty of outdoor play — exploring nature, building coordination, and having fun safely in the fresh air.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children thrive on structure because it helps them feel secure and know what to expect. I love creating gentle, predictable routines that help kids feel calm and capable.

My experience with special needs children...

Experienced with special needs support, including developmental disabilities and autism, ensuring inclusive participation.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite preschool teacher moment was when one of my students gave me a handmade “thank you card” with stick figures of us holding hands and said, “You make school feel happy.” That simple gesture made me realize how much consistency, kindness, and patience matter in a child’s world — and it’s something I carry into every interaction with children.
