More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes my time as an elementary school teacher for over 7 years, where I worked closely with students ages 4–10, creating a nurturing and structured environment for learning and growth. I also worked as a childcare associate at VillaSport, caring for children from 6 weeks to 13 years old in a play-based setting. Prior to that, I was a tennis coach for kids ages 5–18, focusing on skill-building and confidence. I’ve also provided babysitting and nannying services for families over the years, helping with feeding, naps, diapering, and daily routines. These experiences have helped me become patient, adaptable, and confident in meeting the developmental needs of children across various ages.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing creative, engaging activities with children that support their development and spark joy. Some of my favorites include story time, arts and crafts, sensory play, music and movement, outdoor walks, building with blocks, and imaginative play. I also love incorporating learning through fun — like practicing letters, colors, or numbers in playful ways. I tailor activities to each child’s age and interests, making sure they feel encouraged, curious, and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting, loving bond with the child and their family. It’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment where the child feels seen, supported, and encouraged to grow. Beyond basic care, a great nanny helps shape a child’s emotional well-being, fosters curiosity and confidence, and becomes a steady, positive presence in their daily life. Trust, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments happened during a rainy afternoon when a toddler I cared for asked to “paint the weather” while watching raindrops race down the window. I spread out paper and washable paints, and together we recreated sunbeams, clouds, raindrops, and even a rainbow.

I watched as she dabbed bright yellow, swirling blues, and dotted gray rain on her page. Her eyes lit up with excitement, pride, and pure joy. When she proudly showed me her masterpiece and said, “Look, I made the weather,” my heart soared.

That session wasn’t just about art—it was about creativity, emotional expression, and building confidence. It reminded me why I love being a nanny: guiding little ones through discovery, celebrating each small victory, and sharing warm, joyful moments that spark curiosity and connection.
