Passionate about educating and making space to understand and grow. Having spent the past 7-8 year nannying off and on, I have enjoyed each family I’ve got to be apart of. My favorite part of the job is learning and encouraging new skill sets along with understanding what makes each child them!

A little bit about me…

Hello! I've been an Early Childhood Educator since 2009. I work with children between the ages of newborn to 8 years old and I enjoy every moment of it! I have my MS in Child Development, as well as 3 addition degrees. I am currently CPR certified and fingerprinted. I taught preschool classes for 12 years. The last 2 years I was nanny/housemanager/tutor to a family of 6. I believe the first few years of a child's life have a tremendous impact on shaping who they will become, which is why it is imperative to be very deliberate in the choices we make regarding their lives as they grow up. I absolutely love teaching and am so grateful for the opportunities I have been given to impact children's lives! I love having adventures with children and enjoy taking them to parks, walks, events and other outings. I am also very detail oriented, efficient, and tidy. I have no problem with overnights, light cleaning, laundry and errands.

A little bit about me…

Hi! I absolutely love interacting and caring for children. I babysat throughout high school, was around children all the time during high school volunteering with a ministry called YoungLife. In the past I have nannied for 4 wonderful families with children ranging from newborn to 5 years old, and have experience caring for a child with autism. I attended GCU and graduated with my Bachelor's in Biology this April 2023 and would like to continue my education further to eventually become a pediatric anesthesiologist assistant. I'm interested in taking on any and all childcare responsibilities- meals, play, school work, transportation, etc. I love creating fun by doing crafts, playing outside, and going on little adventures! I'm responsible, attentive, and would love to add some extra joy into your children's lives! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ but will be moving back to Costa Mesa in the middle of May!

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Costa Mesa, CA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Costa Mesa Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Costa Mesa? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Costa Mesa?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
