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

I've had the privilege of caring for children in both family homes and early childhood education programs. I spent over 20 years as a teacher before becoming a nanny, where I've spent the past 5+ years providing personalized, nurturing care to children and supporting families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, sports, outdoor adventures, reading, and exploring their interests. I love creating fun, engaging experiences based on each child’s personality and curiosity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me as a nanny is building a meaningful connection with the child while also developing a trusting partnership with the parents and family. I believe teamwork, communication, and consistency create the best environment for children to grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with a variety of individual needs. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, understanding, encouragement, and a supportive environment where they can grow and feel confident.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite funny memories was when a child noticed I only drank water and said, “You know there are other drinks in the world!” I told him I knew, but I preferred water. He then offered me his milk and encouraged me to try something new. His sweet and curious personality made me laugh!!
