More About Me

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

In addition to my daycare position, I have previous experience working as a nanny and have been babysitting for the same family for the past 9 years. During that time I’ve cared for children on the autism spectrum and supported their daily routines, activities, and development. This long-term relationship has given me strong experience working closely with families and adapting to different needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outside, and doing imaginative play. I also like incorporating simple learning activities that help children build confidence and curiosity while still feeling like play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is building trust with both the children and their parents. Creating a consistent, safe, and supportive environment helps children feel secure while also giving parents peace of mind.

My experience with special needs children...

I have a strong background working with children with autism. I have been babysitting for an autistic family for 9 years and also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Through this experience I’ve developed skills in patience, communication, and supporting positive behaviors while helping children feel understood and comfortable.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite parts of working with kids is watching their personalities grow over time. Seeing a child become more confident, learn new skills, or accomplish something they’ve been practicing is always incredibly rewarding.
