A little bit about me

I’m a warm, dependable caregiver and mom to a 3-year-old. As a parent myself, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm, nurturing approach to supporting babies. I enjoy following their cues, supporting gentle routines, and creating a peaceful environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as they grow and explore the world around them. I value clear, open communication with parents and aim to build a trusting relationship so families feel confident their child is in thoughtful, attentive hands.

I’m able to provide care either in your home or in mine, depending on what works best for your family. My goal is always to create a warm, responsive environment where babies feel secure and supported while giving parents peace of mind.

More About Me

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

Owner of toddler playschool (since closed), parent on duty for co-op school, sitter

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Music, books, art and sensory invitations! Getting outside and enjoying nature.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Safety, and wellbeing would of course be the most important part! Aside from that, as a mom, I totally understand the anxiety of others caring for our babies, it’s hard! I do believe though that a parent with help means a more regulated, & more present parent. It very much takes a village & I believe in supporting parents and caregivers too! I also just love connecting with babies and kids, they really tend to gravitate to me & I just get so much joy from spending time with them, and caring for them. I have a strong focus on RIE, I believe in supporting babies and kids through their big feelings, & that they deserve our respect. I feel strongly that play is essential to learning, and I love playing with kids but I also love just observing their play and no when to let them lead.
