A little bit about me

Nurturing young minds is my greatest passion. My six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, has solidified my commitment to their growth and well-being. I hold a college degree and maintain current certifications in CPR and First Aid.

I'm patient, creative, and love engaging children through outdoor play, board games, and educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and always follow parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I communicate openly and regularly, using your preferred method, to keep you informed about your child's day. Supporting families by providing reliable childcare is very rewarding. I have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I'm excited to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to your family, and I look forward to creating a fun and safe environment for your children to thrive!

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes several years of nannying for families with toddlers and school-aged children. My responsibilities included transportation, meal preparation, educational and recreational activities, outdoor play, swimming, and maintaining daily routines. I also worked as a swim instructor at Almaden Valley Athletic Club, where I taught and supervised children in a safe and encouraging environment. In addition to my professional experience, I have 7 nieces and nephews and have spent many years helping care for them, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with children of different ages and personalities. These experiences have strengthened my patience, communication, leadership, and childcare skills.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, outdoor play, trips to the park, swimming, cooking and baking simple recipes, reading books, imaginative play, educational games, sensory activities, and age-appropriate learning exercises. I also enjoy helping children explore their interests through creative projects, sports, and hands-on activities while creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. Building trust with both the children and their parents is essential. I believe a great nanny not only keeps children safe but also encourages their growth, confidence, creativity, and independence while providing consistent care, guidance, and compassion.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are when the children are genuinely excited to spend time together and create memories. Whether it's a successful baking project, a fun day at the park, teaching a new game, or seeing them proud of something they've accomplished, those moments remind me why I love working with kids. Building a close bond with them and watching their personalities grow is the most rewarding part of being a nanny.
