More About Me

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

Cared for my nephew from 4 months old, now 4 years old - ongoing. And my 3-year-old niece sporadically since newborn. Full care: bottle prep, stage-based meals (purees to solids), naps, diapers, bedtime routine. Kept everything organized - washed/sterilized bottles, laundry, folded clothes, kept nursery tidy. Created age-appropriate activities & exercises per stage using Lovevery curriculum. 4+ years hands-on experience. Bilingual: Spanish Native, English fluent written & comprehension, spoken intermediate (VCU ESL Certified 2024). Patient, nurturing, detail-oriented.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor: Reading bilingual stories (Spanish/English), arts & crafts per age (painting, play-doh, cutting & gluing, handmade cards), Lovevery play kits per developmental stage, sensory play, puzzles, music & dance, cooking simple meals together. Outdoor: Park walks, playground, nature scavenger hunts, sidewalk chalk, ball games, water play. I love creating crafts based on seasons & holidays and learning through play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part is creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel confident, secure, and free to be themselves. For me, it's about being present in every stage - supporting their development with age-appropriate care, tools, and activities, teaching independence, kindness, and curiosity, and celebrating every small and big achievement. As a mom of 3 and grandma, I know how important it is for parents to trust that their child is loved and well cared for. That trust means everything to me.

My experience with special needs children...

No direct experience with diagnosed special needs, but experienced with different developmental stages, patience, and following individualized routines. Open to learning and following parents' guidance and therapists' instructions. Very nurturing and detail-oriented with feeding, sensory play, and calm routines.

The most important part about being a nanny...

As a mom of 3 (2 adults and 1 teenager), grandma of a 2-year-old girl, and aunt to my nephew (cared for since 4 months, now 4) and 3-year-old niece, I have enjoyed every stage of growth. My favorite moments are celebrating their milestones - first steps, first words, first crafts - and knowing I helped them become confident, secure, and curious little humans. Watching them gain tools to grow, feeling safe and loved, and celebrating each achievement, big or small, is what I love most. Being part of their journey is my greatest joy.

Kinsey H. - Seeking Work in Glen Allen

Full-Time Nanny Available in Glen Allen, VA: Kinsey H.

Hello All,

I'm looking to transition from my corporate role and back into my passion of childcare. I am hoping to find a family who will allow me to bring my 4 month old along.

As a mom, I place a strong emphasis on helping children reach developmental milestones through play, exploration, and engagement. Spending time outdoors, attending music classes, visiting story times, and participating in age-appropriate activities are all important parts of our weekly routine.

I'm primarily looking to care for a child under one year old, but I'm flexible depending on the family's needs.

I am CPR certified and originally attended college as an Early Childhood Education major before ultimately earning a degree in Communications and building a career in banking and logistics. Prior to that, I spent several years working in nonprofit organizations, tutoring students, and serving as a summer camp counselor.
