More About Me

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

I have over six years of experience as a Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher, caring for young children in a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment. I am also a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and CPR & First Aid certified. My experience includes supporting children’s emotional, physical, and developmental needs while building trusting relationships with families. I am passionate about providing gentle, respectful, and responsive care for newborns and young infants.
I currently work with children ages 18 months to 3 years and am excited to expand my work with newborns and infants.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating calm, meaningful experiences that support a child’s natural development. My favorite activities include nature walks, outdoor exploration, singing, storytelling, seasonal crafts, watercolor painting, baking, gardening, sensory play with natural materials, and plenty of free imaginative play. For babies, I focus on loving interaction, tummy time, songs, reading, gentle movement, and following each child’s individual rhythm in a peaceful, nurturing environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, being a nanny is much more than providing care. It means building a trusting relationship with both the child and the family. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, respected, and truly seen. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where each child can grow naturally at their own pace. I value kindness, patience, presence, and open communication with parents, so we can work together to support each child’s unique development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are simply being present with a child—watching them explore, grow, and slowly become who they are. I love observing their changing interests, celebrating each new milestone, and creating a peaceful environment where they feel safe, loved, and free to develop naturally. Those quiet moments of connection are the most meaningful to me.
