A little bit about me

I’m a caring, reliable nanny with about 8 years of babysitting experience, along with experience working in a daycare setting. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping, daily routines, and caring for kids of all ages, with a special love for infants. I tend to be quiet at first, but once I warm up I’m energetic, playful, and very tuned in to each child’s emotional and physical well‑being. I’m passionate about creating a safe, calm, and fun environment where kids can thrive.

A little bit about me

I love working with children, but found that the classroom environment can be a bit much. Give me just a few kiddos to work full-time with, though, and you'll find I do just fine!
