A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Wanjiru! I’ve been caring for children for over 4 years, with experience ranging from toddlers (11 months) to teens (17 years old). Whether babysitting for family, assisting in after-school programs, or supporting sick children in multi-family homes, I’ve learned how to create safe, nurturing spaces where kids can thrive. I’m passionate about helping children grow and forming meaningful connections with families.

I’m also a filmmaker, actress, and the founder of a studio production company focused on telling truthful narratives of marginalized communities. As a Justice Studies student, I’m dedicated to fostering empathy and understanding. Outside of nannying, I love cooking, playing tennis, listening to music, and tapping into kids’ worlds with creativity and curiosity. I’d love to get to know your family and can provide references upon request. Hope to hear from you soon!

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing space where kids feel valued and understood. Every child is unique, and I believe in tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs, whether that’s emotional support, play, or learning. I love building genuine connections with kids and their families, and making sure they feel comfortable enough to express themselves and grow at their own pace. I also think it’s essential to empower kids with kindness, respect, and empathy, helping them explore their world and become thoughtful, confident individuals.
