More About Me

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

Throughout the past decade, I’ve had the honor of caring for children across a variety of ages and developmental stages—from newborns to school-aged. In addition to my primary nanny roles, I’ve supported families in group settings, nature-based learning programs, and home environments, often caring for multiple children at once.

Most recently, I’ve worked closely with a family with a 6-month-old, where I helped support physical development, soothe sleep struggles, and encourage early exploration through motor play and sensory activities. I’ve also provided care for families with multiple siblings, adapting to each child’s unique emotional and developmental needs while maintaining a warm, grounded, and consistent presence.

My passion lies in creating calm, connected environments where children feel safe, seen, and supported—and I bring this energy into every caregiving space I enter.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in activities that nurture their natural curiosity, creativity, and connection with the world around them. Some of my favorite things to do include nature walks, sensory play, reading together, singing songs, creating seasonal crafts, and exploring imaginative play. I especially enjoy setting up play invitations that encourage open-ended exploration—whether it’s a basket of scarves and instruments, a nature-themed sensory bin, or a cozy storytelling nook.

I also love incorporating gentle movement like toddler yoga, outdoor free play, and water play when possible. For infants and younger toddlers, I enjoy supporting developmental milestones through simple, loving interactions like tummy time, mirror play, and musical bonding.

Above all, I value activities that create connection, spark wonder, and help children feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part about being a nanny is the lasting, positive impact I leave on both the child and the family as a whole. It’s about showing up with love, consistency, and presence—becoming a trusted part of the child’s world and a supportive extension of the family’s values. I believe that the care I offer shapes more than just daily routines; it nurtures emotional security, confidence, and a deep sense of being seen and loved.

My goal is always to create a space where children can thrive and families can feel at ease knowing their little one is in gentle, capable hands. Being a nanny is more than a job to me—it’s a heartfelt relationship built on trust, connection, and the shared joy of raising a child.
