More About Me

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

My relevant experience includes caring for toddlers and young children in both structured and home settings. I’ve supported children with daily routines such as preparing meals, feeding, diaper changes, bath time, and bedtime routines. I also have experience administering medication at scheduled times when needed and closely monitoring children to ensure their safety. I’ve worked with children who require extra patience and structure, including children with autism, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, follow specific care plans, and adapt to each child’s individual needs. In addition to daily care, I focus on engaging children in age appropriate activities like reading, sensory play, outdoor time, and interactive learning through play. I understand the importance of consistency, communication with parents, and creating a nurturing, safe environment where children feel secure and happy.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a mix of creative, educational, and active activities with children. I love reading books together and asking questions to help build their vocabulary and imagination. For toddlers especially, I enjoy singing songs, doing simple crafts, coloring, and sensory play activities that help with fine motor skills. I also love outdoor play going on walks, visiting the playground, playing ball, or just exploring nature in a safe, supervised way. For active kids, I enjoy games that let them move their bodies while still learning things like taking turns and following directions. I also like doing structured activities like puzzles, shape sorting, building blocks, and pretend play, which helps with problem-solving and social skills. Most importantly, I enjoy following the child’s interests and energy so they feel engaged, happy, and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where a child feels secure and supported. Children thrive when they know they are cared for, understood, and protected. Being a nanny isn’t just about supervision it’s about building trust, encouraging development, and being a positive influence in a child’s daily life. It means being patient, attentive, and reliable, while also supporting routines, learning, and emotional growth. I believe communication with parents is also key. Working as a team to ensure the child’s needs are met and their routine is consistent makes all the difference. At the end of the day, knowing the child feels happy, safe, and cared for is what matters most.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when a child I cared for started repeating new words I had been practicing with them during our daily playtime. We would sit and read books, sing songs, and talk through everything we were doing and one day they looked at me, smiled, and clearly said the word we had been working on. Seeing their confidence grow in that moment meant so much to me. Moments like that remind me why I love working with children. Being part of their development, watching them learn, and knowing I helped create a safe and encouraging space for them to grow is the most rewarding feeling.
