A little bit about me

I simply love working with children. I love helping and watching children go through every stage of their young lives. Growing up, my mom owned a daycare and that’s where my never ending love and passion for childcare started. I knew at a young age my heart was crafted to care for and to love children. I spent my pre-teen years and my teenage years investing in the lives of children through internships, volunteer work, babysitting, tutoring and working at various daycares and schools. A few of my strengths include the fact that i’m patient, caring, reliable, creative ,organized , friendly and experienced.

More About Me

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

I have several years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve been involved in childcare since I was 16, helping at my mother’s in-home daycare, and I’m currently a preschool teacher. I also previously worked as a teacher’s assistant in an elementary school, which gave me even more hands-on experience in the classroom. In addition, I serve as the Preschool Coordinator at my church and work with high school students every Wednesday. I regularly tutor and babysit as well. My passion for working with children runs deep—I truly love helping them grow, learn, and feel valued in every environment I’m a part of.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing crafts, reading stories, singing songs, and playing games with children. I also enjoy helping them learn through fun, hands-on activities and watching their confidence grow as they try new things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important parts of being a nanny are building trust, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and supporting each child’s growth and development. It’s about being dependable, patient, and truly present—showing up with love and consistency so children feel secure and valued every day.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve had experience working with children with special needs in both classroom and church settings. I strive to create a supportive and patient environment where every child feels included and encouraged. I’ve learned to adapt activities to meet individual needs and truly enjoy building connections with each child based on their unique strengths.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of the most special parts of my journey has been watching a little one I cared for since she was just 6 weeks old grow into a confident, playful 4-year-old. Being part of her life as she’s hit so many milestones has been such a joy and a reminder of how meaningful and lasting these relationships can be.
