A little bit about me

I'm an outgoing and experienced nanny with a rich background in teaching and early childhood education. After spending years as a 4th/5th grade teacher and working in daycares, I transitioned to full-time nannying over 4 years ago!

With a PreK-5 teaching license, a DCDEE qualification, and always pursuing more knowledge in early childhood education, I'm dedicated to creating a fun, yet structured learning environment for your children. My approach incorporates crafts, dance, DIY projects, and storytime-all designed to make learning enjoyable and engaging! I'm passionate about fostering growth through hands-on experiences, including nature explorations, museum visits, and imaginative play.

Through firm, gentle parenting techniques, I display emotional intelligence, foster independence, and encourage natural curiosity-all in a safe, easily replicable manner. I am not perfect, but I take my job of raising a human being capable of empathy, compassion, and kindness very seriously.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes over 4 years as a full-time nanny for children ranging from infancy to early elementary age. In these roles, I provided daily care, supported developmental milestones, planned engaging, age-appropriate activities, and maintained consistent routines. Before that, I worked as a 4th grade teacher in a Title I school, where I gained classroom management skills and a strong foundation in child development and learning strategies. I’ve also completed training in trauma-informed care, behavior support, and early literacy. My experience has given me the tools to foster nurturing, safe, and enriching environments for every child I care for.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning activities that support learning, creativity, and connection. Some of my favorites include sensory play, storytime, nature walks, arts and crafts, music and movement, and Montessori-inspired activities that encourage independence and exploration. I also enjoy helping little ones reach developmental milestones through tummy time, guided play, and simple games. For older children, I like incorporating educational games, imaginative play, and outdoor adventures. My goal is always to create joyful, screen-free experiences that are both fun and meaningful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a strong, trusting relationship with the child and their family. Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported, and I believe it’s my role to provide that stability while nurturing their growth and curiosity. Being a nanny means showing up with patience, consistency, and genuine care every day. It’s not just about routines and activities (though those are importantly), it’s about being a positive, loving presence in a child’s life and helping them feel confident, capable, and valued.

My experience with special needs children...

have experience supporting children with a range of special needs, including developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, and behavioral differences. During my time as a 4th grade teacher in a Title I school, I worked closely with students who had IEPs and 504 plans, adapting lessons and routines to meet their individual needs. I’ve also cared for children one-on-one who required extra patience, structure, and sensory-sensitive environments. I approach each child with empathy, consistency, and a willingness to learn from parents and therapists to provide the best possible care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when the toddler I cared for took her first steps while we were playing outside. We had been working on balance and confidence for weeks, and seeing her take those steps with such pride, and immediately turn to me with a huge smile, was unforgettable. Moments like that remind me how special it is to be part of a child’s growth and to celebrate their milestones, big and small, as someone they trust and feel safe with.
