More About Me

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

I have extensive experience working with children of all ages through church ministries, where I’ve supported kids from nursery to youth groups. I have over five years of babysitting experience, allowing me to build strong, trusting relationships with families and children. I’ve also worked at an ABA clinic and currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with FPS, where I provide individualized, compassionate care and behavioral support. I’m patient, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for kids.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love making time with kids fun, creative, and memorable! Some of my favorite things to do with children include playing games, doing crafts (especially making slime!), singing and dancing, and having cozy movie nights with popcorn. I enjoy being present and engaged—whether that’s playing outside, using imagination during playtime, or creating a calm, safe space to relax and watch a favorite movie. My goal is always to help kids feel happy, supported, and excited to spend time together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and trusting environment where children feel secure and valued. Being present, patient, and attentive allows kids to be themselves while knowing they are supported and cared for. I think it’s essential to build strong relationships with both the children and their families, communicate openly, and show consistency in care. A nanny has the opportunity to positively impact a child’s emotional growth, confidence, and daily joy, and I take that responsibility seriously.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, specifically children on the autism spectrum. As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I’ve worked in both clinic and in-home settings, providing individualized support based on each child’s unique needs. I am trained in implementing behavior plans, supporting communication and social skills, and using patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to help children succeed. I strive to create a safe, understanding, and encouraging environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny and babysitter was working with a little boy on the autism spectrum who learned his very first word. Being part of that milestone was incredibly meaningful and reminded me why I love what I do. Watching his confidence grow and seeing the joy on his face—and his family’s—was something I’ll never forget. Moments like that affirm the importance of patience, consistency, and celebrating every small victory, and they continue to inspire my passion for working with children.
