More About Me

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

I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology. Worked at a daycare in high school. Helped raise my cousins. Recently worked as a middle school mental health associate.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Captivating imagination by reading or creating stories, playing outside, teaching children using play, creating play forts. An emphasis on quality time to create secure relationships.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping children to develop secure relationships and understand strange behavior rather than stranger danger. I believe both children and adults deserve body autonomy. Most importantly respect, quality time, and attention.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked as a middle school mental health associate. I have great experience with ADHD children and some experience with autistic children. I am willing to learn to fit your family's needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Not a nanny memory, one time I dated someone with two kids boy 4 & girl 5. One evening we had a bath time and make-up stories before bed. The next morning, I surprised them both with a living room breakfast picnic and they played dress up. It was clear at bathtime, bedtime, and breakfast time that these were not regular routines for them. It both broke my heart and filled it to give them that experience. I would take them swimming, play with bubbles and chalk. It was then I knew the true blessing of children. They wanted to help clean up and do dishes with me because this was an activity done together. I believe children thrive with quality time and full attention.
