A little bit about me

Hi 🙂

I’m a former teacher and experienced babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re reading books, playing outside, doing crafts, or tackling homework, I try to make every day engaging and positive. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.

More About Me

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

In addition to babysitting, I worked as a teacher, where caring for children was part of my everyday routine. I supervised classrooms, helped students learn and grow, and built relationships with both children and their families. I’ve also babysat for several families, including children I taught, helping with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping them entertained while maintaining a structured environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m a big fan of activities that keep kids engaged and away from screens when possible. I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, board games, baking, outdoor walks, trips to the park, and simple science or learning activities. I also don’t mind helping with homework or just being a listening ear after a long day at school.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, being a nanny is about building trust, with both the children and their parents. I want kids to feel safe and cared for, and I want parents to know they can leave the house feeling confident that their children are in good hands.

My experience with special needs children...

Through my teaching and childcare experience, I’ve worked with children who have a variety of learning and developmental needs. Every child is different, so I focus on being patient, consistent, and understanding while following the routines and strategies that work best for them. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they are.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite parts of babysitting is seeing a child become comfortable enough to let their personality shine. Whether it’s hearing them proudly read a book on their own (a personal favorite of mine 😊), mastering a new skill, or laughing over a silly game, those little moments are what make childcare so rewarding.
