The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny, for me, is creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, understood, and free to be themselves. I believe kids thrive when they feel truly seen and cared for, so I focus on building trust, encouraging their curiosity, and helping them grow with confidence. Whether through creative activities, daily routines, or simple moments of connection, my priority is always to provide a positive, stable presence in their lives.

My experience with special needs children...

I had several special needs children in my pre-school classes. I also created a special needs class at my art and cooking school. In my most recent positions I have worked with special needs young adults.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had one little boy that wanted to be referred to as vacuum instead of his actual name. I recently saw his mom. He is now 23 years old and we had a great giggle about his wish to be called vacuum. He is a brilliant adult now working on his PhD. She thanked me for allowing him to be vacuum for that short period in his life.
