A little bit about me

I am a caring and enthusiastic nanny passionate about creating a nurturing environment for children to learn and thrive. I believe early childhood education is foundational for a child’s growth and development later in life, which is why I incorporate educational activities into everyday schedules and routines. I especially love planning lessons and immersive experiences such as museum visits. I am artistic and enjoy making arts and crafts projects with the children I care for. I am also outdoorsy and love spending time in nature and playing outdoor sports. I am an experienced childcare provider, caring for babies, toddlers, young children, and tweens. I have also taken a Child Psych course and a Health and Safety course. In addition to these courses, I am a trained camp counselor and certified in CPR and first aid. Learning, fun, and safety are my top priorities. I have excellent communication skills and believe establishing a good parent and nanny relationship is key.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love painting, drawing, and doing other arts and crafts with the kids in my care. Going on walks, bike rides, going to the playground, and just, in general, being outdoors. Music and dance parties, plus imaginary play and games, are areas where I shine. I am an avid reader and try to pass on the joy of reading through storytime and teaching kids early reading skills such as letter identification, phonics, recognizing sight words, and new vocabulary. I love cooking and baking, so getting kids involved with fun projects such as making cupcakes and cookies is something that I like to do.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I'd say there are three things I prioritize as a nanny and they are safety, learning, and having fun/ making cherished memories.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many memories to choose from, but I would have to say that outdoor picnics and tea parties in the summer are always something I look back on as some of my favorite nanny moments.
