A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Tammy Andrea Henderson. I have over 8 years of experience working as a professional nanny, caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged. I hold an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from Long Beach City College, which has given me a strong foundation in child development and teaching practices.

I believe in play-based, child-led learning inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, and I love bringing creativity into my care through music, dance, art, and introducing Spanish language. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I also use sign language to help support early communication.

Along with childcare, I can assist with meal preparation and light housekeeping to help keep the home running smoothly. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel nurtured and supported as they grow, learn, and thrive.

More About Me

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

⸻

I hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with over 70 ECE units completed. Beyond my classroom experience, I’ve served as an advocate with Early Edge California, where I visited the State Capitol to fight for equal rights for family, friend, and neighbor unlicensed caregivers. My advocacy reflects my passion for elevating all forms of childcare and ensuring every child has access to quality early learning. In addition, I have hands-on experience working with children on the autism spectrum, supporting their growth with patience, creativity, and a gentle, individualized approach.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love bringing creativity into childcare—whether it’s singing songs, dancing, arts and crafts, outdoor play, or reading together. I enjoy planning activities that are not only fun but also help children grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is building trust and meaningful relationships with both the children and their families. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children feel loved, supported, and free to be themselves.

My experience with special needs children...

I have hands-on experience working with children on the autism spectrum and children with developmental differences. I approach each child with patience, respect, and creativity—using gentle guidance, individualized activities, and supportive communication to help them thrive.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny was watching a toddler I cared for take their very first steps. Being part of those milestones—and seeing the joy on both the child’s and parents’ faces—reminds me why I love this work so much.
