More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes nearly seven years as a Sunday School Teacher, where I led lessons, supervised play, and supported emotional and social development—especially with toddlers and preschoolers. I’ve also babysat for family and friends over the years, gaining hands-on experience with children of various ages and needs.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, storytime, imaginative play, outdoor games, and simple science experiments. I love creating fun, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and help kids express themselves while learning and growing.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is building a relationship rooted in trust, love, and consistency. It’s not just about keeping children safe or entertained—it’s about becoming a steady, nurturing presence in their lives. Children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and valued, and as a nanny, I have the privilege of being someone who helps create that sense of security and belonging every single day.
It’s in the little moments—tying shoes, wiping tears, celebrating small victories—where the real heart of nannying lives. Being a nanny means showing up with patience, empathy, and joy, helping children grow not just in skills, but in confidence, kindness, and curiosity. It’s about being a calm in their chaos, a cheerleader in their challenges, and a gentle guide as they discover the world around them.

My experience with special needs children...
I bring a well-rounded background in childcare, with two years of paid experience as an Afterschool Teacher, where I planned engaging activities and created a fun, structured environment. For nearly seven years, I’ve also volunteered as a Sunday School Teacher, primarily working with toddlers and preschoolers—an experience that’s deepened my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of nurturing guidance.
In addition, I have a background in Behavioral Therapy, which led to my current role over the past nine months, specifically supporting children with special needs. I thrive in this work, using individualized strategies and positive reinforcement to help each child feel confident, capable, and cared for. I’m patient, observant, and passionate about creating inclusive, supportive spaces where all children can grow and succeed.

The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite moments as a nanny was the first time I helped a child learn to read. It reminded me of when my grandmother taught me—such a special memory. Being even a small part of that child’s journey into the world of reading was awe-inspiring. Watching their eyes light up as they connected letters to meaning was pure magic. I was on cloud nine, knowing I had helped open a door to a lifetime of learning and imagination.
