A little bit about me

I have over ten years of experience working with children ranging from birth through age 19. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with a concentration in Mathematics from SUNY Geneseo (2021). I also hold a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University at Albany (2023), and I will be completing my second master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at Western Connecticut State University this May (2026).
In addition to my educational background, I have extensive hands-on childcare experience and currently work with two families in the evenings in Ridgefield. I am highly organized, reliable, and hardworking, and I take pride in going above and beyond typical nanny responsibilities. Whether it’s helping with household projects, organizing spaces, or assisting with tasks like setting up a child’s “big kid” room, I’m always happy to support families in any way I can.
I also have excellent references available upon request.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes my roles as a nanny, tutor, and behavior therapist working with children across a range of ages. Through these positions, I provided supervision, academic support, and structured activities while fostering social, emotional, and developmental growth in a safe and supportive setting.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in activities that promote creativity, curiosity, and developmentally appropriate learning. My favorite activities include arts and crafts, reading together, outdoor play, and hands-on learning projects that encourage problem solving and imagination. I also like incorporating structured games and activities that support social skills, communication, and independence while ensuring children feel supported, safe, and confident.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is ensuring that every child in my care feels safe, valued, and genuinely loved. Children thrive when they feel secure and supported, and I believe creating that environment is the foundation for everything else. I take great pride in building meaningful relationships with the children I work with and becoming a consistent, positive presence in their lives.
One of my favorite parts of working with children is creating special memories together, whether that’s through creative activities, outdoor adventures, learning new skills, or simply sharing moments of laughter throughout the day. At the same time, I value the importance of structure and routine, and I work closely with families to maintain consistency that supports each child’s development and well-being.
For me, being a nanny is about becoming a trusted support system for both the children and their families.

My experience with special needs children...

Since July 2023, I have worked as a behavior therapist supporting children with autism while simultaneously pursuing my second master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis as I work toward becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments with my kids that I've worked with is seeing their 'Ah Ha' moments! Whether that's them finally being able to pedal a bike on their own, tie their own shoe, or take their first steps, all of the little and big moments are my favorites!
