A little bit about me

I’m currently seeking a full-time or part-time nanny position for the summer, as well as families who may need an occasional babysitter throughout the year. I’m a second-year Elementary/Middle Education major at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, and I have several years of experience working with children in childcare centers, summer programs, and classroom settings.

A bit about me: I’m energetic, caring, and love creating fun, positive experiences for kids. Outside of school and work, I enjoy dancing, being outdoors, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m someone who values joy, connection, and making others feel supported and safe.

More About Me

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

I have extensive experience working with children ranging from infancy through middle school across multiple educational and childcare settings. Over several years, I have supported young learners in classrooms, summer camps, church programs, and childcare centers, focusing on building positive relationships, ensuring safety, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate learning environments. My roles have included planning and leading activities, managing behaviors, communicating with families, and fostering inclusive, nurturing spaces that support each child’s social, emotional, and academic growth. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed strong skills in supervision, collaboration, conflict mediation, and child-centered instruction.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing fun, creative things with kids—anything from crafts and messy art projects to playing outside, going on little adventures, or staying active with games. I also enjoy reading with kids and helping them discover new books they love. Overall, I’m happiest when we’re having fun, learning something new, and making great memories together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is making sure children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time with me. Building a genuine connection—where the child trusts me and feels comfortable—is something I value deeply. I also believe that open, honest communication with parents is essential. When everyone feels comfortable, informed, and on the same page, it creates a positive, smooth, and enjoyable experience for the whole family.
