More About Me

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

As a nanny and tutor, I've had the privilege of working with diverse families and children, gaining invaluable experience that has shaped my approach to caregiving & education. Over the past 10, I've developed a comprehensive skill set that aligns perfectly with the needs of both roles.

In my role as a nanny, I've nurtured strong relationships with the children I've cared for. I excel at creating a safe & nurturing environment, fostering trust, & effectively managing daily routines. Whether it's meal prep, organizing educational activities, or ensuring a consistent sleep schedule, I'm dedicated to maintaining a structured and supportive atmosphere that promotes children's growth & happiness.

As a tutor, I've had the pleasure of guiding scholars through their academic journeys. I'm skilled at creating individual lesson plans for learning styles to create a love for learning. My experience in tutoring has equipped me to ensure that my scholar's reach their full academic potential.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy cultivating a space for my scholars and NK's to be able to be freely creative and explorative as they are naturally going to be. I use this to my advantage by creating lessons/activities that encourage critical thinking, independence, and self correction and empowerment through practical life activities, science experiments, outdoor adventuring, DIY projects, mindfulness, language learning and so many more!

My experience with special needs children...

I've had the privilege of working with special needs scholars, & this experience has been incredibly rewarding & enriching.

These your scholar needs a different approach to their learning. As a neurodiverse individual I understand what it feels like to function in a world that wasn't created with us in mind. My goal is to help the next generation achieve what others may think is impossible.

My experience has involved collaborating closely with parents, teachers, and therapists to ensure a holistic approach to the child's well-being & development. I tailor activities & teaching methods to each scholar's individual strengths & challenges.

Whether it's assisting with sensory integration exercises, implementing communication strategies for nonverbal scholars, or providing emotional support during moments of frustration, I'm dedicated to fostering a sense of trust and security. I approach each scholar with patience, empathy, & a commitment to helping them reach their fullest potential.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most cherished nanny moments was when the child I was caring for achieved a milestone they had been working towards for a while. This child had been struggling with reading and was feeling quite discouraged. We had spent countless hours reading together, practicing phonics, and working on comprehension.

One day, as we sat down for our reading session, the child's eyes lit up with excitement. They began reading a book aloud with confidence, tackling words and sentences that had previously been challenging. Witnessing that transformation and seeing the pure joy on their face as they realized their own progress was incredibly rewarding. It wasn't just about the achievement itself, but also about the sense of accomplishment and pride that the child felt.

This moment reinforced the importance of patience, dedication, and the power of one-on-one attention in a child's growth and development. It's a memory I will always hold dear.
