More About Me

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

working as an elementary teacher, where I supported children in developing language skills, classroom engagement, and confidence in a structured learning environment. I also have experience working in recreational summer camps, where I led groups of children in activities focused on play, creativity, social development, and teamwork.

I've worked as a EEC teacher in daycare and preschool settings, supporting children across different developmental stages. I have also provided babysitting for multiple families over the years, including caring for siblings and multiples.

Across all roles, I have focused on fostering emotional regulation, independence, and developmentally appropriate learning through structured, engaging, and supportive environments. I also bring experience supporting families during domestic and international travel, maintaining consistency, routines, and care across changing environments.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in hands-on, creative, and developmentally appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, sensory play, music, storytelling, and imaginative or dramatic play. I also enjoy outdoor exploration, nature-based play, and age-appropriate outings that encourage curiosity and learning.

I incorporate practical life skills and Montessori-inspired activities that promote independence and confidence, as well as language-rich interactions, including teaching Spanish in an immersive and natural way when appropriate.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, stable, and emotionally supportive environment where children can thrive. This includes not only meeting their physical needs, but also supporting their emotional, social, and cognitive development in a consistent and intentional way.

Equally important is building a respectful and collaborative relationship with parents, maintaining open communication, and working as a trusted partner in supporting the child’s overall well-being and development.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting children with diverse developmental needs in both educational and childcare settings, including adapting routines, communication, and activities to meet individual learning styles and emotional needs.

My approach is patient, structured, and responsive, focusing on creating a supportive and predictable environment where children feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I prioritize collaboration with parents and follow guidance from professionals when applicable to ensure consistency in care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments is witnessing children reach milestones they have worked hard toward, whether it is gaining independence in daily routines, developing confidence in social situations, or expressing themselves more clearly and creatively over time.

I especially value moments where children show curiosity, pride, and excitement in their learning, and where I can see the impact of consistency, patience, and a nurturing environment in their growth.
