More About Me

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

Serving as Preschool Director at Heritage United Methodist Preschool, where I oversaw daily operations, ensured child safety, managed curriculum, and supervised staff. I worked as a Lead Preschool Teacher at Peakland Preschool and Liberty Christian Academy, planning and implementing developmentally appropriate lessons that supported social, emotional, and cognitive growth. I also served as a Preschool Teacher at Elizabeth’s Early Learning Center and an Afternoon Teacher at Randolph Nursery School, supervising classrooms of 10–20 students. Additionally, I worked as a Children’s Ministry Assistant, Nursery Staff member, Long-Term Substitute, and Encore Teacher, providing safe, structured, and nurturing environments for children of various ages.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include reading interactive storybooks, leading arts and crafts projects, and creating hands-on learning activities that encourage creativity and problem-solving. I love organizing themed learning days, sensory play, and age-appropriate science or nature activities. I also enjoy planning structured games that build teamwork and social skills, as well as outdoor play that keeps children active and engaged. Most importantly, I value creating a warm, encouraging environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a safe, trusting, and nurturing relationship with the child and their family. A nanny plays a vital role in supporting a child’s emotional, social, and developmental growth while maintaining a structured and dependable environment. Communication with parents, consistency in routines, and genuine care are essential. Above all, it is about creating a space where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to learn and grow each day.
