A little bit about me

I am a passionate advocate for childhood and believe that children need time to just be children. I have six years of daycare experience in a NAEYC certified childcare center, during which time I also received training in Reggio Emilia and RIE philosophies of child care. I have nannied part time for many families, and full time for three. Nannying is in many ways the best job ever, I love connecting in depth with little people and truly getting to enjoy our time together! I bring my experiences from the classroom to the table by ensuring we always have something fun to do. I also love to let kids tell me what they're interested in, instead of pushing my ideas on them! I value getting outside every day, rain or shine. During non-Covid times, trips to the library or other community center are a favorite of mine- a shake-up of the normal routine that still has its predictable elements, and benefits both child and adult. If these values align with your family, please reach out to me!

More About Me

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

I have worked in childcare settings as a teacher Aide, Assistant, and Lead teacher.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My favorite activities to do with children tend to be unique to each child- I love to see what ignites their specific creative thinking minds! I value time outdoors and believe some outside time should happen rain or shine. I also love reading with children and try to incorporate reading time in at least once per day, preferably more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe that my job as a nanny is to keep children safe, while encouraging them to grow into people who will shape the world into a kinder and better place.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with autism and Down syndrome. I am committed to treating every child with equity and respect, no matter their circumstances.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love seeing my own words reflected in the kids I work with, especially when that reflection happens around problem solving. I loved when the three year old I was caring for got frustrated and instead of yelling at her little sister, she said "Sis... come here and sit with me. I'm not mad at you, I just want to talk to you about what happened." Watching her capacity for problem solving grow made my heart feel so full!
