A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with extensive hands-on experience, including working in a daycare setting, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, routines, and age-appropriate activities.

I prioritize a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I focus on supporting developmental milestones through play-based learning, language development, and interactive activities tailored to each child’s needs. I’m also experienced with managing daily routines, including meals, naps, and transitions, while maintaining a calm and structured atmosphere.

Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive. I value open communication with parents and strive to provide consistent, high-quality care that aligns with each family’s preferences and parenting style.

I genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in being someone families can depend on.

Currently I am enrolled in SDSU Global Campus pursuing a bachelor’s degree program in Criminal Justice. I finished my associates degree this year in Administration of Justice. I am looking into law schools following the completion of my BA. I am also currently interning at the District Attorneys Office Family Violence Division. I absolutely adore kids and one day hope to have a couple with my boyfriend. Though, since I am a classroom aide I think of all of my kids as my own so it feels as if I have 9 kids. 😂
