A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a 30-year-old Certified Medical Assistant with over 8 years of healthcare experience, and I'm currently in nursing school. Caring for others has always been my passion, and my medical background, along with my CPR certification, allows me to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children.

Outside of work and school, I love spending time outdoors. You'll often find me hiking, snowboarding, working out, or enjoying other active adventures. I enjoy encouraging kids to stay active, explore, and have fun while creating a positive and supportive atmosphere.

I'm outgoing, dependable, compassionate, and always give my best in everything I do. Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing meals, or simply being someone your children can trust and feel comfortable with, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me—I look forward to connecting with you!

More About Me

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

Relevant experience caring for children includes working in pediatrics as a Certified Medical Assistant, where I cared for infants, children, and teens while helping families feel comfortable and supported. This experience taught me how to communicate with children of all ages, remain calm in stressful situations, and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

I'm also a proud aunt to several nieces and nephews, so caring for kids has always been a big part of my life outside of work. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained, or simply being a trusted adult they can count on, I genuinely enjoy spending time with children.

Combined with my 8+ years in healthcare, CPR certification, and current nursing education, I bring a dependable, compassionate, and safety-focused approach to every family I work with.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning activities that keep children engaged, active, and having fun while encouraging creativity and learning. Some of my favorite activities include going to the park, hiking, playing outside, arts and crafts, reading books, baking together, building forts, playing board games, doing puzzles, and creating fun science or sensory activities. I also enjoy swimming, riding bikes, visiting the library or zoo, and exploring new places when appropriate.

I believe in limiting screen time when possible and creating meaningful experiences that help children build confidence, stay active, and make lasting memories. Most importantly, I enjoy following each child's interests and personality to make sure they're having fun while feeling safe, supported, and encouraged.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment where children feel supported, valued, and free to be themselves. I believe a nanny is more than just a caregiver—it's someone who becomes a positive role model, builds trust with both the children and their parents, and helps children grow emotionally, socially, and academically.

I strive to be patient, compassionate, and engaged in every moment, whether we're playing outside, working on homework, or simply talking about their day. Open communication with parents is also incredibly important to me so we can work together as a team and provide consistency, encouragement, and the best possible care for their children.
