More About Me

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

My relevant experience includes working as a Life Skills Trainer, where I helped students develop independence, communication, self-advocacy, and everyday living skills through interactive activities and games.

I also have experience working with children and families through my church and the JuCan Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children affected by pediatric cancer.

Additionally, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Dallas Baptist University, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional well-being.

I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and educational activities that encourage children to learn, grow, and feel supported!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love finding creative ways to make everyday activities fun and memorable for children! Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, baking and decorating cookies, reading stories, playing board games, imaginative play, and organizing fun educational activities.

I also enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s playing at the park, going on nature walks, or creating fun outdoor games!

I especially love incorporating seasonal and holiday-themed activities, including Christmas crafts, cookie decorating, and other festive traditions. I believe childhood should be filled with laughter, creativity, learning, and special memories, and I love being part of making those moments happen!

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and encouraging environment where children feel valued, supported, and free to be themselves!

I believe that caring for children is about so much more than simply watching over them. It’s about building meaningful relationships, encouraging their curiosity, celebrating their little victories, and helping them grow into confident, kind individuals.

I also believe that earning a family’s trust is incredibly important. I want parents to feel confident knowing their children are in caring, dependable hands while they’re away.

Above all, I hope to be someone who brings joy, laughter, patience, and a little extra sunshine into a child’s day!

My experience with special needs children...

Through my previous role as a Life Skills Trainer, I had the opportunity to work with students with disabilities and varying learning and developmental needs. I helped students build independence, communication, social skills, and confidence through engaging, hands-on activities tailored to their individual abilities.

I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which has provided me with a foundation in understanding behavior, development, and individual differences.

I believe every child deserves to feel valued, encouraged, and supported. I strive to approach each child with patience, compassion, and an understanding that every child learns and grows differently!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite moments working with children have been the little ones that turn into lasting memories! Whether it’s watching a child gain confidence in something they once struggled with, hearing their laughter during a silly game, or seeing their excitement over an activity we’ve planned, those moments are incredibly special to me.

I especially love seeing children’s personalities shine through and finding little ways to make their day brighter. To me, it’s the small moments of joy, laughter, and connection that make working with children so rewarding!
