More About Me

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

I have experience working with children in a variety of settings, including summer camps, regular classrooms, and self-contained special education classrooms. I currently work as a teacher’s aide with students with special needs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, communication, supervision, and supporting each child’s individual needs. I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and encouraged.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love trying new things with kids! I’m always up for activities like trying a new restaurant, going to theme parks, go-karting, concerts, karaoke, board games, arts and crafts, movies, outdoor activities, and exploring new places. I’m happy to follow the child’s interests and find fun activities we can enjoy together!

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me is that the children feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I want to be someone they can trust while also encouraging them to learn, explore, and be themselves. I love making everyday activities fun and creating a positive relationship with both the children and their parents.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with a wide range of special needs and support levels. My experience includes assisting with feeding, dressing, toileting, communication devices, mobility, and other daily living needs. I have worked with children who use wheelchairs and children who communicate using assistive devices. I’m comfortable providing hands-on support while also encouraging children’s independence and participation.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite babysitting moments was when I planned a simple activity for the kids, but they ended up taking it in a completely different direction and turning it into their own little adventure. We spent the rest of the day laughing, playing games, and making up our own rules. It reminded me that sometimes the best moments with kids happen when you just let them be creative and have fun.
