A little bit about me

Hi! I'm an experienced and enthusiastic caregiver having worked with children in a variety of settings for the past 10 years. I hold degrees in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education, and I've spent 6 years as a nanny, 2 years teaching preschool, and 2 years teaching in the early elementary classroom. I'm passionate about creating meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity while making every day fun. Whether we're exploring outdoors, getting creative with crafts, reading stories, or learning through play, I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can grow with confidence and joy. I love building strong relationships with both children and families, and I look forward to becoming a positive, dependable part of your child's life!

More About Me

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

I started working with children as a high schooler, babysitting after school and nannying during the summer. I found a lot of joy working with kids of different ages, and continued to nanny as I pursued a degree in Early Childhood Education. I then moved to an ECE classroom setting, working predominantly with 3 and 4 year olds! I continued my education during this time, graduating magna cum laude from Ohio State University with a degree in Primary Education. I spent 2 years as a classroom teacher, teaching second and third grade. I currently hold a teaching license for prek-5 in the state of Ohio

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

-Anything outdoors!
-Creative expression (arts and crafts, dramatic play, creative writing, open ended activities)
- Analytical thinking (building with materials, problem solving activities, observation and discussion, experimentation, investigating WOW! Questions)
- Reading!! (Reading to, supporting developing readers, general literacy and fluency games and activities)
-Educational activities / developing targeted activities to support a child’s individual developmental and curricular needs

The most important part about being a nanny...

Building strong and meaningful relationships with the children I am working with as well as the family. I value the collaboration and open communication of parents, grandparents, guardians or other caregivers, to support the holistic growth and development of the child!
