A little bit about me

I’m a mother of four and a certified teacher with years of experience supporting children from early childhood through the teen years. My kids are 6, 9, 11, and 14, and I also teach high school, so I’m comfortable working with all ages and needs. I’m patient, structured, and committed to helping families feel supported and confident.

In addition to my teaching background, I am DCF trained for childcare, I’m a certified Home Health Aide with BLS/CPR/First Aid training, and I’m experienced in providing compassionate care for elderly clients. I bring a calm, attentive, and professional presence to every home. Whether it’s childcare, routines, homework, behavior support, or elder care, you can count on me to be responsible, caring, and dedicated to making your busy life easier.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were in my own home and in my professional roles. As a mother of four, I’ve spent years managing routines, homework, behavior, meals, and daily structure for kids at different stages. As a certified teacher and high school educator, I’ve supported students of all ages and needs, from early learners to teens. I’ve also worked as a certified Home Health Aide, where I cared for elderly clients while still assisting families with childcare when needed. All of these roles have strengthened my ability to stay patient, organized, attentive, and fully present with the children I support.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include anything that lets them learn, explore, and have fun while feeling supported. I love doing hands‑on crafts, reading together, playing games, and helping with homework or school projects. I enjoy taking kids outside for walks, playground time, or simple nature activities when possible. I also like cooking or baking simple recipes with them, doing creative projects, and setting up activities that keep them engaged and confident. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on making sure kids feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn and try new things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel supported and understood. Kids thrive when they know they can trust the person caring for them, and I take that responsibility seriously. For me, it’s about showing up with patience, structure, and genuine care every single day. It’s being attentive to their needs, helping them grow, keeping them on routine, and giving them a calm, positive space to learn and be themselves. At the end of the day, it’s about making a real difference in a child’s life and helping families feel confident and supported.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children comes from both my home life and my professional work. As a certified teacher and a mother of four, I’ve supported children with a range of learning styles, behavioral needs, and developmental differences. In the classroom, I’ve worked closely with students who need extra patience, structure, and individualized support, and I’m comfortable adapting activities, routines, and communication to meet each child where they are.

I bring a calm, steady presence, and I’m attentive to cues, emotions, and sensory needs. My background as a certified Home Health Aide, along with my BLS/CPR/First Aid training, also helps me stay prepared, safety‑focused, and confident in providing care. I truly enjoy helping every child feel understood, supported, and successful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is always when a child feels completely comfortable and connected with me. There’s something special about seeing a child’s face light up when they finally master something we’ve been working on together, or when they run to the door excited to see me. I love those quiet moments too — reading together, talking about their day, or watching them open up in their own way. Those little breakthroughs, the trust, the laughter, and the feeling that I’m making their day easier and happier… that’s what I enjoy most and what keeps me passionate about caring for children.
