A little bit about me

I’m passionate about providing caring, dependable, and attentive childcare while creating a safe and positive environment for every child. I’ve always had a natural connection with children and genuinely enjoy being someone families can rely on.
I grew up surrounded by children, with family members who worked as teachers and caregivers. Through them, I learned the importance of patience, communication, responsibility, and understanding each child’s unique needs and personality.
I recently relocated from Oahu, Hawaii to San Diego, CA, to pursue new opportunities. I currently work full-time & offer childcare as a side job.
I’m responsible, patient, adaptable, and always willing to learn. I’m happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported.
I’m also currently working toward becoming CPR and First Aid certified. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and become someone you can trust!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities that keep children entertained while encouraging creativity and learning. Some of my favorite activities include reading, baking, arts and crafts, painting, indoor and outdoor play, going on walks, visiting the beach or library, and exploring new activities together. I also love introducing children to new snacks and simple baking projects. I’m always happy to get creative and come up with new ideas based on each child’s interests!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I do believe that always asking questions to the parents if they would like me to do something different or have any request. I am more than happy to help in any way I can. communication is key.
