More About Me

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

Relevant experience caring for children includes working as an au pair for both South African and American families, mentoring first-year students at university, assisting as an educator in a classroom, and volunteering with kids in after-school programs. In each role, I provided supervision, educational support, and creative activities, ensuring children felt safe, engaged, and encouraged to grow.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in creative, educational, and outdoor activities that spark curiosity and growth. In my current role, I take the children on city adventures to museums, children’s parks, the aquarium, and the zoo, and drive them to and from after-school activities. I enjoy guiding arts and crafts projects such as pottery and painting, taking the kids to the beach and public pools, and teaching younger children skills like riding a bike. I also love encouraging exploration through nature walks, gardening, and interactive games, creating a safe, fun, and stimulating environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is spending quality time with children, giving them your undivided attention, and always showing up as a reliable, supportive presence. It’s about bringing your best self every day, being a strong pillar they can lean on, and creating a nurturing environment where they feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore, learn, and have fun.

My experience with special needs children...

I do not have hands-on experience with special needs children, but I studied this as part of my university curriculum and have a solid understanding of strategies to support and engage children with diverse learning needs. I am eager to apply this knowledge and continue learning in a practical setting.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was teaching a child to ride their bike for the first time. Watching their excitement and pride as they pedaled independently was unforgettable. I also love creating fun crafts, exploring museums, and enjoying outdoor adventures with the children. Moments like these remind me why I am passionate about working with kids.
