A little bit about me

Hi there,

I am currently working as a live-in nanny and am looking to make a transition at the end of the summer.

My past work and personal history displays a dedication to childcare and children's advocacy. I have worked as a live-in nanny for 2. 5 years now, for families in Italy, London, and Connecticut.

I have worked as a counselor at a kids summer camp, led a kids study group, served at an orphanage in Guatemala and volunteered at a children's health clinic in Uganda. Through nannying, I have gained valuable skills in various aspects of childcare, such as preparing meals and snacks, organizing educational and outdoor activities, helping with homework, encouraging language learning and emotional regulation practice, mediating conflict, establishing consistent routine, helping with bed and bath time, taking the kids safely to and from school and extracurriculars, and generally providing care and support.

I am happy to provide references and a resume upon request!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Anything outdoors: biking, swimming, hiking, horse-riding, camping, walking, etc.

I try my best to get the kids engaged via imaginative/creative play, where they can let their big personalities and ideas shine through. This can look like building cardboard rocket ships, putting on talent shows, opening an at-home cafe, performing surgery on an injured stuffed animal, hosting a talk show, solving mysteries together, and so on. The sky is the limit when it comes to engaging activities, so I try to help foster their curiosity and encourage creative ideas!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of nannying, in my opinion, is child development. I studied child psychology in college and understand how impressionable kids are. They look to the adults in their life for guidance, understanding, and strength. It is an honor to be able to come alongside children and help them navigate life, growing up, big emotions, hard days, school, social settings, and everything in between. Raising children is so special, and I feel grateful to be apart of that process and to help kids develop into the best versions of themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I nannied a little girl in Italy for a summer. The bond I created with her and her family was truly special. Two years later, they moved to the US. I was able to attend her birthday party, celebrate with everyone, and see how she had grown. It was a full-circle moment for me and a reminder of how meaningful nannying can be.
