More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating a balance between fun, creativity, learning, and emotional connection with children. Indoors, I enjoy arts & crafts, reading books, sensory activities, music, baking together, pretend play, puzzles, and helping children build confidence through conversation and imagination. Outdoors, I love going to parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, walks, sports activities, swimming, and planning fun little adventures that keep kids active and engaged. I always try to create a safe, warm, and joyful environment where children feel understood, encouraged, and genuinely happy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and emotionally supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I truly value building genuine connections, helping children grow with confidence, and being someone they can trust and feel happy around every day.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with different developmental and emotional needs, always focusing on patience, empathy, communication, and creating a safe environment where they feel understood and supported. I cared for a 13-year-old autistic girl (level 2) and learned a lot about emotional regulation, respecting routines, building trust, and adapting communication based on her needs. I also cared for a 3-year-old little girl with speech delay, helping encourage communication through play, repetition, patience, reading, music, and interactive activities. These experiences taught me how important consistency, kindness, and emotional connection are when supporting children with unique needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when the 3-year-old little girl I cared for, who had a speech delay, said my name for the very first time. We had been working so much on communication through play, music, reading, repetition, and patience, so hearing her say it felt incredibly special and emotional to me. It reminded me how meaningful small milestones can be and how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for children.
