More About Me

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

With 6 years of experience, I've had the joy of caring for four amazing families as a nanny and many others as a babysitter. I began with three families of first-time parents, providing dedicated infant care for a year each. I then spent nearly four years with a family of four, supporting all the children as they grew. While my focus has been on infants and toddlers, I have experience with all ages. I’m grounded in child development and committed to gentle parenting, creating nurturing environments where kids thrive. I manage routines, encourage learning, and foster emotional growth. I believe every child deserves a caregiver who is patient, kind, and passionate about teaching, and I’m honored to be that person.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging in developmental/sensory activities, going on trips to the park, and doing arts and crafts, anything to nurture their young minds.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a foundation of trust, love, and consistency. Children thrive when they feel safe and genuinely cared for, and as a nanny, I have the privilege of helping create that environment every day. Partnering with parents to support their values and routines is essential, and I believe in nurturing the whole child, emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Being present, patient, and intentional allows me to not only meet their needs but also encourage their growth, confidence, and joy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching my nanny baby, who wasn’t much of a baby anymore, head off to his first day of kindergarten and flourish, just as I knew he would after years of guiding him alongside his parents, was an incredibly proud moment
