More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I've worked in infant classrooms and private homes, and have experience in overnight newborn care. I've supporting families through feeding challenges, difficult sleep, developmental transitions, and the tender, wild months of early parenthood. I've also worked with respected infant care centers including ChildRoots and Chestnut Grove Montessori.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I’m deeply drawn to RIE-inspired infant care and to the practice of slowing down enough to truly be with babies. I love sharing simple pleasures together—singing songs, feeling the wind on our faces, noticing leaves moving overhead, and exploring gentle sensory experiences. I talk with babies throughout the day, letting them know what to expect and inviting them into each transition and caregiving routine. I believe babies understand far more than we often assume, and I value creating a calm, respectful environment where they can feel safe, included, and free to unfold at their own pace.

The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moments are the ones that remind me how full of wonder babyhood is. I love the magic of watching a brand-new person discover the world in real time—the first fascination with shadows, the intense concentration of figuring out how their own body works. With babies, everything is changing constantly, and yet so much of the joy lives in slowing down enough to notice it. I feel incredibly lucky to witness all of that becoming.
