A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Starr and I'm a loving, nurturing mother of two with a deep passion for working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I bring both professional experience and heartfelt care to everything I do.
I’ve spent two years as a kindergarten teacher and have Waldorf training, which means I focus on gentle, creative, and nature-based learning. I’m patient, kind, and truly enjoy helping little ones grow and thrive.
Whether it’s baking cookies, doing arts and crafts, or exploring the outdoors, I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for kids. I’d be honored to support your family and care for your children as if they were my own.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Crafts!!!! I live for crafts. I enjoy having children help in the kitchen. Children are truly capable of so much. Going to the park, library, Exploratorium, Academy of science, beach, swim centers. I am always doing something with my own children in my free time. Reading books, coloring, dress up. Homemade play dough, creating sensory tables with themes.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I would love to be a nanny because caring for children is something that brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. As a mother of two, I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported and free to be themselves. I find so much happiness in watching children grow, learn, and discover the world around them.

Whether it’s baking together, doing crafts, exploring nature, or simply sharing quiet moments, I love being part of a child’s everyday life. I’m patient, kind, and deeply committed to helping little ones thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively. Being a nanny isn’t just a job to me—it’s a chance to make a meaningful difference in a family’s life.

My experience with special needs children...

My son was born with a cleft lip and palate, which has given me hands-on experience with specialized feeding techniques, managing feeding tubes, and administering medications with care and precision. I’ve learned the importance of patience, gentle communication, and being attuned to a child’s unique needs—skills that I carry into every caregiving role.
