A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Dorothy — a professional nanny based in Philadelphia offering warm, attentive, one-on-one care for infants and young children. My care style is loving, active, and developmentally focused. I believe children need more than supervision: they need safety, affection, rest, conversation, movement, fresh air, play, and steady support through each stage of growth.

I enjoy creating calm, engaging days that may include reading, singing, tummy time, sensory play, outdoor walks, nap support, bottles/meals, diapering, comfort, and early learning through play. As a native Philadelphian, I’m also familiar with local parks, libraries, storytimes, and child-friendly activities when outings are appropriate.

I work best with families who value clear communication, consistency, trust, and a safe, thoughtful care environment.

More About Me

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

My childcare experience began in my 20s, when I worked with children and families abroad in both the Netherlands and England. Those years gave me an early appreciation for different family cultures, routines, and approaches to care. More recently, I worked in a Philadelphia Center City early learning center, where I gained hands-on experience supporting infants and young children in a structured classroom environment. Over the last year, I have returned to private family nanny care, where I can offer more individualized, one-on-one attention and build a close daily rhythm with each child. My background gives me a blend of international experience, early childhood center experience, and private home care experience.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating active, engaging, age-appropriate days for children. Depending on the child’s age and stage, activities may include reading, singing, floor play, tummy time, sensory play, outdoor walks, playground time, nature exploration, playdates, library storytimes, group activities, and child-friendly outings. I especially love reading with children and helping them learn through conversation, play, movement, fresh air, and everyday discovery. My goal is to give each child a day that feels safe, loving, stimulating, and connected — with a healthy balance of rest, play, learning, and outdoor time.
