More About Me

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

I have hands-on experience working with children of all ages—I worked as a daycare staff member at Kidtown at Midtown and also served as a camp counselor for kids with disabilities. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging kids in creative and active play—things like arts and crafts, outdoor games, and reading. I also enjoy helping with schoolwork or reading together to support their learning in a fun way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is building a real connection with the kids—being someone they trust, feel safe with, and enjoy spending time around. While working at a daycare (Kidtown at Midtown), I gained valuable experience with children of all ages, but I often found it hard to truly bond with individual kids due to the fast-paced group setting. That’s what draws me to nannying—I’m excited about the opportunity to focus on one family and build deeper, more meaningful relationships.

My experience with special needs children...

I also have experience working with children with special needs through my time as a camp counselor at Camp SOAR, a summer camp specifically for kids with disabilities. It was an incredibly rewarding experience where I learned the importance of patience, empathy, and creating a supportive environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.
