More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes after-school nannying, summer childcare, newborn support, caring for toddlers and school-aged children during school breaks and holidays, and assisting parents who worked from home. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, bath and bedtime routines, homework help, outdoor activities, creative play, and maintaining safe and structured daily routines.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a variety of engaging and age-appropriate activities with children, including arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, library visits, games, imaginative play, sensory activities, and educational activities that encourage creativity and learning. I also enjoy helping children stay active through walks, playground trips, and interactive play while still balancing structure and routine. I try to create activities that are both fun and enriching while adapting to each child’s interests and personality.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think a great nanny is someone who is nurturing, dependable, patient, and genuinely invested in a child’s well-being and development. A great nanny creates a safe and supportive environment while also bringing structure, consistency, and positive energy into a family’s daily routine. I believe communication is also extremely important, both with children and parents, so everyone feels comfortable, respected, and on the same page.
I also think great nannies are adaptable and attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. Beyond supervision, they help children grow emotionally, socially, and academically through encouragement, creativity, and meaningful interaction. Most importantly, I believe a great nanny becomes a trusted and reliable presence that families can feel confident depending on.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment would be graduating at the same time with the first child I nannied for. He came to my high-school graduation and I went to his kindergarten graduation the next day.
