More About Me

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

during my 20 years as both a classroom teacher and the owner of two successful home-based daycares. In these roles, I nurtured children from infancy through school age, supporting their emotional, social, and academic growth. I guided little ones through important milestones like potty training, language development, and early literacy. My experience has given me a strong foundation in child development, behavior management, and creating structured routines that balance learning and play. I’ve always prioritized safety, consistency, and open communication with families to build trust and ensure each child feels secure and supported. Whether in a school or home setting, I approach caregiving with patience, warmth, and dedication
providing dependable, high-quality care that helps children thrive.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

include anything that sparks their imagination, builds confidence, and encourages learning through play. I love reading stories with fun voices, creating arts and crafts, singing songs, and doing simple science experiments to spark curiosity. Outdoor play is a favorite going on nature walks, playing games, or drawing with sidewalk chalk keeps them active and engaged. I also enjoy cooking simple, child-friendly recipes together, which teaches responsibility and builds fine motor skills. For younger children, I love sensory play, building with blocks, or dancing to music. I’m passionate about turning everyday moments into learning opportunities whether we’re counting during cleanup or talking about colors while sorting laundry. I meet children where they are developmentally and help them grow through joyful, hands-on experiences that make them feel loved, seen, and capable.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel seen, heard, and supported. With my background in teaching and owning two daycares, I know how vital it is to nurture each child’s unique strengths while providing the structure they need to thrive. Building trust not just with the child but with the family is key. It’s about showing up every day with patience, care, and the intention to make a positive impact on a child’s growth, confidence, and happiness.

My experience with special needs children...

includes working closely with families during my years as a classroom teacher and daycare owner to support children with diverse developmental, behavioral, and learning needs. I’ve created inclusive environments that prioritize patience, structure, and individualized care. I’ve worked with children on the autism spectrum, those with speech delays, sensory sensitivities, and ADHD adapting daily routines, communication methods, and activities to meet each child where they are. I believe in celebrating every milestone, no matter how small, and providing consistent support to help each child thrive at their own pace. I also understand the importance of partnering with parents, therapists, and educators to ensure continuity of care. My approach is rooted in compassion, flexibility, and a deep belief that all children deserve to feel safe, valued, and understood.

The most important part about being a nanny...

was seeing a child I cared for, who once struggled with confidence and communication, proudly read their first book out loud. Moments like that remind me why I do this work because every small breakthrough is a big win. Watching children grow, learn, and light up with pride in their accomplishments is truly the most rewarding part of what I do. Knowing I helped create a safe, loving space that encouraged that growth makes all the difference.
