Her kind, professional, and deeply competent nature left an enduring positive impact on our children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tea parties with their stuffies, a "good behavior store" to encourage chores and politeness, a poetry slam, a fashion show with 4 outfit and accessory changes and daily park visits, walks, chalk art, games, etc."

More About Me

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

I have a wide range of experience working with children in various settings. I’ve worked as an after-school tutor, a kindergarten teacher, and an educator, providing both academic support and emotional guidance. In addition to professional roles, I’ve also provided childcare through babysitting and bring firsthand understanding and care as a mother myself.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in a variety of enriching activities like arts and crafts, storytelling, baking, nature walks, sensory play, educational games, and outdoor adventures. I often incorporate Montessori-inspired approaches—encouraging independence, hands-on learning, and respect for each child’s natural development. I enjoy turning everyday moments into fun, meaningful experiences that help build confidence, creativity, and joy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is supporting a child’s growth in a way that honors their independence, confidence, and individuality. I lean into a Montessori-inspired, hands-off approach—encouraging children to explore, ask questions, and come to me when they need guidance. I love building confidence in little ones so they feel capable and proud of what they can do. With infants, I focus on supporting their development and milestones while also giving them the space to express their unique personalities. I believe in blending gentle structure with child-led learning to create a secure, empowering environment.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with speech delays and ADHD. I focus on creating a calm, supportive environment tailored to each child’s needs. With children facing speech delays, I use clear communication, repetition, and activities that support language development through play. For children with ADHD, I emphasize structure, patience, and engaging activities that help with focus and self-regulation. I believe in meeting each child where they are and helping them thrive with empathy, consistency, and creativity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite nanny moments happen when we’re either deep in learning or laughing together—especially in the kitchen, where we bake, create, and enjoy the process as much as the result. Children have the most hilarious, unfiltered things to say and their reactions are truly priceless. Whether we’re making a mess with flour or discovering something new, those shared moments of curiosity and joy are what I treasure most.
