More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I began nannying at 23, caring for a newborn, and remained with the same family for five years. This long-term role allowed me to experience the full rhythm of early childhood—supporting feeding schedules, sleep routines, developmental milestones, and eventually the transition into toddlerhood and early independence. As the child grew, my role naturally evolved, requiring adaptability, patience, and a deep understanding of his changing emotional and developmental needs.
Being with one family long-term taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and becoming a steady presence in a child’s life. I take pride in forming strong relationships with both children and parents and in supporting families through multiple stages of growth.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love going to the park, grocery stores, really anywhere kids can be free to explore naturally, They are curious by nature and its so interesting seeing them do so.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Patience! Kids are growing and discovering the world for the first time, and they’re learning how to process big feelings in little bodies. They don’t always have the words or tools yet, and that’s where patience matters most. To me, patience means meeting children where they are, allowing them the space to be curious, expressive, and fully themselves. It’s about guiding rather than rushing, listening rather than correcting, and creating an environment where they feel safe to learn through trial and error. Of course, safety always comes first—but within that, I believe children thrive when they’re given understanding, consistency, and room to grow.
My experience with special needs children...
I do not have any experience with Special needs
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moments aren’t tied to one single event, but to the accumulation of milestones over time. Watching a child learn to crawl, walk, speak, express emotions, and develop a sense of self is incredibly powerful. Each year brought a noticeable shift—new interests, new confidence, and a deeper personality emerging.
Being present for that transformation was the first time I truly understood what it means to watch a child grow into their own person. Seeing that evolution firsthand—year after year—left a lasting impact on me and is what makes childcare feel so meaningful and rewarding.
