A little bit about me

Reliable, safety focused caregiver with extensive hands on experience supporting families, including children with special needs. As a mother I know that great care is built on patience, observation, and trust. I don't believe in bulldozing kids. I believe in building rapport, respecting their autonomy, and paying close attention to nonverbal cues. Whether we're building in extra transition time so a child doesn't feel rushed, regulating our nervous systems with a walk outside, heading to the park, baking, or just kicking back to rest and watch a movie, I always mirror your family's household rules and routines for seamless continuity.

My goal is to be a dependable, grounded extension of your family! Someone who keeps kids safe, honors their boundaries, and makes daily life run a whole lot smoother.

As a parent myself, I bring a well-rounded, compassionate, and highly capable approach to every family I serve.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is leading with influence rather than just authority. While I am the responsible adult, I aim to relate to kids by being curious about their perspective and listening to their needs. I don't believe in 'bulldozing' a child's personality. I want to protect their authenticity while providing the stern, consistent boundaries they need to feel safe and supported.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs is rooted in my life as a parent to a non-verbal child on the autism spectrum. Through formal parenting education and extensive research, I have developed effective strategies for communication and behavioral support. I understand that the spectrum is vast and that every child requires a tailored approach. I am passionate about providing a patient, nurturing environment where children with diverse needs feel understood and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment involved caring for a non-verbal teenager. It was a powerful lesson in non-verbal communication; he was able to express so much personality and intent just through his eyes. Navigating that connection taught me the importance of being fully present and observant. It was a sweet, successful experience that highlighted the beauty of individual communication styles on the spectrum.
