A little bit about me

Hi! I’m an experienced nanny and mother of two grown children with 10 years of childcare experience. I’m nurturing, dependable, patient, and very active. I love being outdoors and enjoy keeping children engaged through walks, parks, outings, reading, creative play, and screen-free activities. I value open communication with parents and creating a calm, consistent environment where children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I’m also always happy to help in ways that make the day run more smoothly for the whole family. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have excellent references, and a dependable SUV. Currently I am working full-time for a family 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday and am available for evening and weekend occasional sitting.

More About Me

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

I have approximately 10 years of professional childcare experience with infants, toddlers, twins, preschoolers, and school-aged children. My background includes full-time nanny care, overnight/night nanny work, infant care beginning at 3 months, school pickups, homework help, routines, outings, and caring for multiple children at once. I’m currently completing a temporary position with a family who relocated from Virginia, primarily caring for their 1-year-old and 3½-year-old while helping the family settle into San Diego. My position ends October 9.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping children active, engaged, and exploring. Some of my favorite activities include trips to the zoo, parks, libraries and storytimes, water play, nature walks, playgrounds, crafts, reading, and age-appropriate outings around the community. I also enjoy creating simple activities at home and finding fun, screen-free ways to keep children learning, moving, and having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is stepping in as a loving, dependable presence when parents can’t be there. I want each child to feel safe, connected, and genuinely cared for and to know that they are adored for exactly who they are. I try to be very attentive to each child’s personality, developmental stage, emotional state, and individual needs. To me, great childcare is not just meeting physical needs, but building a strong connection through patience, encouragement, affection, and consistent care.

My experience with special needs children...

While I don’t have extensive professional special-needs experience, I do have personal experience supporting a neurodivergent child as a parent. That has given me an appreciation for patience, flexibility, clear communication, and meeting children where they are. I’m always open to learning a child’s individual needs and following the family’s routines and guidance.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny memories was lying in the grass with a little girl I cared for, looking up at the sky and talking about what the clouds looked like. I love those simple moments when kids feel relaxed, curious, and connected. I also love being silly and getting children laughing, especially during the everyday moments they may not be excited about, like getting dressed or transitioning to the next activity.
