A little bit about me

Hi! I am a single mom of two teenagers, Kearstin and Mason and two fur babies, Luna and Tonks. I love camping and gardening, being by the lake, or most anything outdoors in the summertime. I have been working with children in some capacity since 2007. I have worked in different centers, I owned my own home daycare, and I have been in my current position at a small preschool in Essex for 11 years. I am looking for a change, but I know that I want to continue working with children as that is my true passion. I am known at my current job as the arts and crafts lady, the sensory lady, and the teacher who always has alumni kiddos coming back with their younger siblings, begging their parents to stay.

More About Me

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

I worked in several different daycares, I ran my own in home daycare for several years, and now I am working with kids at a small preschool program through my local recreation department. I have two children of my own who are now teenagers.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating a fun, nurturing environment through hands-on activities like reading together, imaginative play, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I enjoy supporting children’s curiosity, independence, and emotional growth while keeping their days structured, safe, and joyful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting, nurturing relationship where children feel safe, seen, and supported. By providing consistency, patience, and genuine care, I help children grow emotionally, socially, and developmentally while giving families peace of mind.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working closely with an autistic 3-year-old, providing consistent, patient, and supportive care tailored to their individual needs. I used structured routines, visual supports, and play-based strategies to encourage communication, emotional regulation, and independence while honoring the child’s strengths and sensory preferences.
