More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love taking children to museums and parks, as well as encouraging their imagination through creative, hands-on play. I enjoy activities that are both fun and engaging while also helping support learning and development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is becoming an extension of the parents as an additional supportive and reliable hand. I try to anticipate not only a child’s needs, but the needs of the entire family, especially knowing how limited time can be.

If I can take care of daily tasks and responsibilities that help ease the load, I do so in order to create more quality time for parents and children to enjoy together once they’re home from work.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was a few months into working with a new family. We had spent the morning at the pool, where I was playing water games with my nanny kids and other children. My youngest nanny child kept saying I was “the best babysitter ever” and didn’t want to stop playing or miss anything.

When we finally sat down for lunch at the pool grill, he ate a bit of his food, then asked to sit on my lap. He curled up and fell asleep right there on me under the umbrella. We both had pool hair, and his older brother was happily still playing nearby. It was such a sweet, simple moment that reminded me how much trust and comfort children find in consistent care.
