More About Me

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

I have cared for children includes my current roles as a Kids Academy Supervisor at Life Time Athletic, a Behavioral Interventionist with Newport-Mesa Unified School District, and a Special Education Paraprofessional with Strategic Kids. I have also worked as a Lead Teacher at KinderCare Education, Lead Teacher at The Red Apple Preschool, Teacher at Dana Montessori, and as a private nanny and babysitter. Across these roles, I have supervised children of various ages, implemented behavior support strategies, ensured their safety and well-being, communicated with families, and created engaging, developmentally appropriate activities.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities that support children's learning and development. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, sensory play, reading stories, outdoor games, music and movement, imaginative play, STEM activities, and group games that encourage teamwork and social skills. I also enjoy helping children build confidence by celebrating their achievements, teaching problem-solving skills, and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel supported, included, and excited to learn.

The most important part about being a nanny...

he most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children feel valued, secure, and encouraged to grow. I believe a nanny plays an important role in a child's development by building trusting relationships, promoting positive behavior, and supporting their emotional, social, and cognitive growth. I enjoy planning engaging activities, encouraging creativity and independence, and maintaining open communication with parents to ensure consistency in each child's care. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while helping children learn, have fun, and reach important developmental milestones.

My experience with special needs children...

I have over four years of experience working with children with special needs in both school and behavioral support settings. As a Behavioral Interventionist and Special Education Paraprofessional, I work closely with students with autism and other developmental and behavioral needs, implementing behavior intervention strategies, supporting IEP goals, and collaborating with teachers, specialists, and families to promote each child's success. I have experience using positive behavior supports, de-escalation techniques, and individualized reinforcement strategies while fostering a safe, structured, and inclusive environment. My goal is to help every child build confidence, develop independence, and reach their full potential while feeling supported and valued.
