A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Hannah, a passionate and experienced child care provider who believes that caring for children teaches us just as much—if not more—than we teach them. Watching little minds explore the world, build confidence, and develop kindness is what makes this work so fulfilling for me!
Growing up in the woods, I developed a deep love for the outdoors, and I bring that same sense of adventure into my nannying. Nature walks, scavenger hunts, or simply playing in the fresh air, I love giving children the opportunity to explore outside. I also focus on fostering an environment of mutual respect—where children feel heard, valued, and encouraged to express themselves while also learning empathy and kindness toward others.
My approach is a balance of playfulness and structure, with most of my experience being in Reggio Emilia curriculum, ensuring that kids have a joyful, engaging day while also feeling secure in their routines. I’d love to bring my experience and joy to your family!

"To Whom It May Concern,
I am delighted to recommend Hannah as a nanny. She cared for our son, Declan, from newborn to one year old, providing exceptional support during this crucial stage of his development. Hannah created a nurturing, engaging environment, ensuring Declan’s physical and emotional well-being. She established consistent routines for feeding, sleep, and play, fostering his growth. Her patience and gentle nature helped him feel secure, and her knowledge of child development was evident in the activities she provided.
Hannah also played a vital role in Declan’s transition to daycare, preparing him with social experiences and fostering his independence. Her dedication, reliability, and warmth made an incredible impact on our family. She is a wonderful caregiver, and we highly recommend her to any family seeking a loving and experienced nanny.
Sincerely,
Dana Duncan
