A little bit about me

With over a decade of childcare experience working as a babysitter, teacher, in daycares, and as an arts education volunteer, transitioning into the role of nanny was a natural fit for me and has allowed me to work both domestically and abroad over the past three years. I have a BA from Suffolk University and have earned certificates in CPR/first aid/AED, car seat safety, "green" childcare, and a CACHE endorsed nanny training program; currently, I'm further my knowledge in the fields of nutrition and neuroscience at UMO.

Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are active reading, crafts that meld elements of different STEAM subjects, and engaging in physical activity through outdoor play. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment wherever I provide care, and I consistently rely on respect, empathy, positive discipline, and a healthy dose of patience.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating a fun, safe environment for children to learn through play and social interaction. Being a nanny is unique among childcare careers because of the intimate setting (usually the child's home) and the personal relationship that forms as a result.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments as a nanny are the ones when a child willingly expresses affection towards me; asking mom or dad if I can stay longer, offering a hug, asking if I can come on the family vacation, and even going as far as saying "I love you." It reminds me how significant the nanny/child relationship is to that child's life.
