A little bit about me

I have 8-10 years of childcare experience, specializing in infants and toddlers. I create structured routines, prepare nutritious meals, and design engaging educational and creative activities tailored to each child's development. My background includes seven summers at Timber Lake Camp, where I progressed from camp counselor to drama director and division leader, working with children aged 7-11. Additionally, I have eight years of experience as a children’s theatre teacher, fostering creativity, confidence, and teamwork. My ability to connect with children on an individual level while maintaining a nurturing and stimulating environment has helped me build strong, lasting relationships with families. I am passionate about providing high-quality care and creating enriching spaces where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging kids in creative and hands-on activities that foster their imagination, learning, and growth. Arts and crafts are a favorite, allowing children to express themselves through painting, drawing, and DIY projects. I also enjoy storytelling and dramatic play, encouraging creativity through role-playing and theatre games. Outdoor play is important to me—whether it’s going for walks, playing at the park, or organizing scavenger hunts. I love sensory and STEM-based activities like baking, nature exploration, and simple science experiments that spark curiosity. For younger children, I incorporate music, movement, baby sign language, and interactive storytime to support language and social-emotional development. No matter the activity, I strive to create a fun, safe, and enriching environment where children feel encouraged to explore, learn, and grow.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment where children can grow and thrive. Building a strong, trusting bond with both the kids and their parents is essential, as it fosters security, emotional development, and open communication. Supporting a child’s milestones—whether it’s their first words, new social skills, or gaining independence—is incredibly rewarding. Consistency, patience, and adaptability are key, as every child has unique needs and personalities. Beyond daily care, being a nanny means nurturing curiosity, teaching kindness, and encouraging creativity through play and learning. It’s about being a reliable presence in their lives, celebrating their achievements, comforting them in difficult moments, and always making them feel valued and loved. The impact of a great nanny lasts a lifetime, and I take that responsibility to heart every day.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite moments with my nanny kids are the little, everyday wins—when they master a new skill, share a big laugh, or show kindness to others. I love watching their faces light up when they accomplish something new, whether it’s taking their first steps, saying a new word, or completing a puzzle on their own. Storytime snuggles, dance parties in the living room, and silly inside jokes make every day special. I cherish the quiet moments too—holding little hands on walks, singing lullabies before naps, and hearing them say “I love you” unprompted. Seeing their excitement when I arrive and knowing I’m part of their world is incredibly rewarding. Watching them grow, develop confidence, and build a strong bond with me is the most fulfilling part of being a nanny.
