A little bit about me

Growing up in large family has meant that caring for others is second nature to me. The natural progression to nannying was easy for me & the position allows me to fulfil my passion of helping families to nurture children during their first years.

Nannying is such a rewarding position as you are helping to shape a young child through everyday interaction. I believe going outside & being in nature is a fantastic environment for children to learn. Additionally, reading is a fundamental part of any child’s development, especially starting from a young age. Reading allows children to learn words, colours, shapes in a fun and interactive way.

Outside of nannying I like to spend time; playing sports & am a member of the DC Dragon’s Netball club, I love to cook & learn new recipes and I am a volunteer Ombudsman with the US Coast Guard. An Ombudsman is a family liaison that aids & supports USCG families by providing resources & information to help mitigate the challenges of military life.

"Claudia is a wonderful nanny and caregiver and I highly recommend her! She has babysat for my son starting when he was about 3 months old and she has also watched my daughter who is 3. She’s very engaging with the kids, warm, friendly, energetic and fun. Claudia is easy to communicate with, punctual and professional. I’ve had the chance to observe her with other kids as well as she was the nanny to a little boy who lives across the street from us. Claudia is a pro and any family will be lucky to work with her!"

More About Me

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

I have been committed to providing childcare for multiple families across a range of ages (3 months - 4 years old). This is through a nanny position for one family and providing part-time childcare/babysitting services to 3 additional families.

As a nanny I orchestrated a daily schedule based on the age of the child. This improved the child’s night-time routine & sleep schedule by an extra 1.5hrs. I collaborated closely with the parents to understand the needs of the child and then I developed engaging educational activities to enhance the child’s learning & musical talents. I set aside time for daily outside play in the mornings & afternoons. This time was spend at a range of environments like play parks, nature walks, music classes, zoo’s & museums.

During my role as a part-time nanny I have supported children’s natural next-stage developments. This includes using the correct posture & positions for early stage crawling & making homemade purees to begin the solid-food transition.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

During rainy days I go to museums such as the discovery museum and Academy of Science museum. I also frequently go to the local swimming pool and indoor climbing gym (ages 6 months - 2 years old & 2 years +) and the local firehouse to look at the firetrucks.

When the weather permits being outside in nature provides the best activities. Such as; the beach, the park, small hiking trails, ferry rides, water parks and outdoor play gyms.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is being gentle and communicative. Children can’t always understand their emotions and feelings, they will often cry and be fussy, but that is normal. Through effective communication you can help children understand the reasoning behind your actions and in turn help a child to learn. For example, providing child a 2 minute, 1 minute and 30 second warning before leaving a park means that I don’t abruptly take them away from their fun place with no reasoning. By providing timed warnings I’ve allowed the child time to internalise what is happening around them.
