A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Cynthia, a highly trained childcare professional and Newborn Care Specialist with a background in Montessori education, infant/toddler development, and social work. I’ve nannied for multiple families, coached young children, and completed an international internship in Lisbon working with toddlers creating emotional-regulation programs.
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a Registered Behavior Technician, experienced with milestone tracking, sleep routines, early language skills, and gentle, responsive caregiving. I bring a calm, structured, development-focused approach to every family I work with while still keeping play fun and meaningful. I aim to support not just the child, but the entire family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy sensory play, Montessori activities, outdoor walks, reading together, music and movement, and simple art projects. I also love taking children on age-appropriate outings—like parks, libraries, nature trails, and kid-friendly events—to help them explore their world. Social-emotional learning is a big part of my care style, so I include activities like mood check-ins, feeling games, gentle communication practice, and routines that build confidence and independence.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is loving the children deeply and showing up for them with patience, joy, and consistency. I believe children grow best when they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, so I focus on building warm, trusting relationships where they know they are loved just as they are. Being a nanny isn’t just a job to me it's truly my passion.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience supporting children and teens with diverse needs. I worked as an in-home caregiver for a nonverbal 17-year-old with Down syndrome, autism, and a feeding tube, providing patient, structured, and medically-informed care. I’ve completed RBT coursework, which strengthened my skills in behavior support, communication strategies, and routine-building. As a Social Work major, I integrate trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches into my care. I also currently work with a child who has selective mutism, using gentle communication techniques, visual supports, and emotional-regulation tools to help them feel safe and confident.
