A little bit about me

I am an experienced and nurturing nanny, always committed to fostering a safe, loving and enriching environment!! I have always been passionate about working with kids and love to create a safe and fun space for them to learn and express themselves. I am very adaptable to any environment and I absolutely love animals so if you have any that’s a plus for me. I used to be an athlete so I can definitely keep up with any high energy activities but also love sitting down to do homework, crafts or read a book. I am very passionate about health and wellness/cooking so I am more than happy to cook nutritious and yummy foods for the kids as well!

I am always open to as needed help or date nights, but I would love to find a family I can stick with long term and build a good relationship with! If you are looking for the same, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if it is a good fit! :)

More About Me

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

I took an entire year of child development courses where I also worked inside of a preschool everyday. We created lesson plans, did activities with the preschoolers to strengthen their motor skills, problem solving skills, writing and communication.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

arts and crafts, all sports, reading books, dance parties, board games, cooking, singing. etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is leading by example and creating a safe and loving space for the kids to express themselves and grow! I believe every person you encounter as a child has a huge impact on you, I still remember the nannies I had as a kid and even talk to two of them still to this day, and if I can be that positive impact for even just one kid, that is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer!

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for a non-verbal 4 year old boy with Autism. I am comfortable and experienced with working with kids that have neurodevelopmental disorders
