More About Me

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

My background in education and childcare has allowed me to work closely with children of all ages and learning needs. As a Substitute Teacher with Middlesex County Magnet Schools, I’ve supported students in both general and special education classrooms—adapting lessons, encouraging positive behavior, and fostering creativity through hands-on activities. During my observation hours, I gained additional experience assisting teachers in inclusive and self-contained settings, supporting individualized learning plans, and helping students build confidence and independence. I also served as a Special Needs Camp Counselor, where I planned engaging activities and provided daily care for children and young adults with diverse abilities, ensuring a safe and encouraging environment for every child.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include painting, playing outside, reading together, and doing creative projects that let them express themselves. I love finding fun ways to combine learning with play and helping kids discover new interests along the way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting and nurturing relationship with the children and their family. It is about creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel loved, understood, and encouraged to grow. A great nanny balances care and structure by offering patience, consistency, and creativity while also supporting the child's emotional, social, and developmental needs.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and individualized care. As a Special Needs Camp Counselor at Camp Robin and through my classroom observations, I supported children with diverse developmental and physical needs by creating inclusive activities, encouraging social interaction, and promoting independence in a safe and supportive environment. I'm also pursuing my bachelors in dual-cert for gen ed and special education.
