A little bit about me

As a nurturing and reliable caregiver with firsthand experience raising my own three children (ages 1 to 15), I understand the importance of providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m passionate about early childhood development and believe in encouraging creativity, kindness, and structure through play, learning, and consistent routines. Whether it’s bottle-feeding a toddler or helping with homework, I bring patience, organization, and genuine care to every family I work with. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs.
***I’ve recently accepted a full-time office position that begins in mid-August, so I’m currently only available for temporary or short-term care through August 10. If you need backup care, short-term help, or coverage during your transition to a long term nanny, I’d love to connect!

More About Me

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

I have hands-on experience caring for children both personally and professionally. As a substitute teacher for primary and elementary school students, I’ve managed classrooms, followed lesson plans, and ensured a safe, structured learning environment. This role strengthened my ability to engage children in age-appropriate activities, manage behavior positively, and adapt quickly to their individual needs. Additionally, as a primary caregiver for my own children, I’ve supported daily routines, emotional development, and early learning at home. These combined experiences have given me strong communication, patience, and child-centered caregiving skills.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts & Crafts – Drawing, painting, playdough, paper crafts, or making DIY cards.
Story Time – Reading books together, acting out stories, or creating your own tales.
Educational Games – Puzzles, alphabet games, flashcards, or memory match.
Baking or Cooking – Simple, supervised recipes like cookies, muffins, or fruit kabobs.
Building & Imaginative Play – Blocks, LEGOs, forts, dress-up, or pretend play (store, kitchen, etc.)
Music & Movement – Sing-alongs, dancing, or playing with toy instruments
Nature Walks or Scavenger Hunts
Explore the neighborhood or a park with a checklist of things to find.
Playground Time – Slides, swings, and climbing promote both fun and motor skills.
Sidewalk Chalk Art – Drawing, hopscotch, or educational games like letter/number tracing.
Bubble Play – Blowing bubbles, bubble machines, or chasing them.
Obstacle Courses – Use cones, hula hoops, or whatever’s on hand for a fun challenge.
Ball Games – Kicking a soccer ball, throwing a frisbee, or playing catch.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing about being a nanny is building trust and a genuine connection—with both the child and the family. This means being reliable, nurturing, and fully present, creating a safe, loving environment where children feel secure and can grow emotionally, mentally, and physically
