A little bit about me

I genuinely love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to grow and explore. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education at Felician University, where I am learning best practices in child development, classroom management, and supporting children with special needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like reading, crafts, music, and outdoor play, while encouraging kindness, patience, and confidence. My goal is always to care for children as if they were my own, giving parents peace of mind knowing their child is happy, safe, and supported.

More About Me

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

I have experience working as a camp counselor with 3- and 4-year-olds, where I helped create a safe and engaging environment for young children. I also worked as a peer counselor for teenagers, supporting them with mentorship and guidance. These experiences, combined with my studies as an Early Childhood Education major at Felician University, have strengthened my ability to connect with children of different ages and support their growth both academically and personally.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in activities that encourage both fun and learning, such as reading stories, leading arts and crafts projects, organizing outdoor play, and introducing music and interactive games that build creativity and social skills.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where children feel cared for and encouraged to grow. It’s not only about meeting their daily needs, but also about building trust, being a positive role model, and helping them learn through play, creativity, and everyday moments.

My experience with special needs children...

While I have limited direct experience working with children with special needs, I have cared for one child with unique needs, which was a meaningful and eye-opening experience. Through my Teacher Education major at Felician University, I am also gaining knowledge and certification in working with children with special needs, which is helping me build the skills and understanding needed to support all learners effectively.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was helping the children I cared for create their own song and performing it together at camp. It was a meaningful experience because it encouraged creativity, teamwork, and confidence while allowing us to bond in a fun and memorable way.
