More About Me

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

I was lucky enough to work in a early childhood education center, where I was a co-lead teacher for children aged 2-3. I worked to ensure the safety and development of my students by implementing developmentally appropriate and engaging activities and experiences on a daily basis. Collaboration with families was also an incredibly important factor, in order to ensure strong communication surrounding their children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love prioritizing creative activities with children, where exploration and discovery is centered. Developmentally appropriate arts & crafts, outdoor play, and sensory exploration are all wonderful approaches!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Providing the children with effective, exciting, and comprehensive care that works to foster development, socio-emotional skills, and a foundation for their lives. It is also important to provide parents and caregivers with the knowledge and comfort that their children are well taken care of and supported on a daily basis.

My experience with special needs children...

I spent time working as a behavioral technician, where I focused on implementing individualized behavioral plans for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I provided in home, one-on-one therapy sessions that focused on fostering the development of socialization, communication, and daily living skills. Collaboration with families and caregivers was also an integral part of this role, in order to ensure therapeutic goals were centered on a daily basis.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment has to be asking my previous family if the children would be interested in being the flower girls in my upcoming wedding. I worked with the twin girls and their parents for 4 years, which cemented them as important people in my professional and personal life. The girls are so excited, and I am so proud to have them involved in my wedding!
