A little bit about me

I have 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years, including children with developmental delays, neurodivergence like Autism, ADHD, and sensory processing.

My approach is rooted in gentle, conscious parenting, attuning to needs and subtle body cues when children don't have the vocabulary to express what is going on, and providing co-regulation in a way that works best for each unique child during moments of upset.
I joyfully engage the child in activities they enjoy, whether that is character or pretend play, games, arts or playground visits and the like.

Additionally. I am a parent to 4 children and trained with the Jai Institute of Parenting, which gave me a deeper understanding of child psychology, attachment theory, and seeing behavior as communication. As a certified parent coach, I offer coaching services as well.

*I have a level 2 background check/fingerprint clearing with Clearinghouse.

I look forward to serving your family!

More About Me

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

Indirectly with children, but providing empowered parent coaching to parents to support stressed parents with their parenting experience and guiding them toward a more peaceful experience.
This in turn had a positive effect not only on the well-being of the parent, but on their children too.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy drawing with children, their favorite colors, animals or characters, making games out of them to bring the smiles.

Character and pretend play, whether with toys or pretending ourselves. Like pretend animals

Outside play, at the park or walking on a trail if they like it.

As a Zumba Kids & Kids Jr instructor, and if the child likes music and dance, I'll be able to teach them some moves for some fun PE time. Or add some freeze dance too.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me is that the child receives quality care and an attuned presence that given the parents peace of mind that their child (ren) is in good care while they tend to their own needs and self care, and perhaps making a few memories along the way.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with children that have Autism, ADHD and sensory processing challenges.

I approach neurodivergent children with attuned care and consideration, given they may not always be able to vocalize well what is going on for them if struggles are present.

I focus on presence, trauma-informed, and a gentle redirection if needed, while honoring what matters to them.
