A little bit about me

I'm a dedicated childcare professional with over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-age kids. I've worked as a private nanny and household manager for families in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, supporting everything from infant care and developmental activities to school pickups, homework help, and light household management.
My background goes beyond nannying — I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant with BLS and First Aid/CPR certifications, which means I bring an extra level of safety awareness and care to every family I work with. I also have experience as a classroom co-teacher, where I designed age-appropriate curriculum and activities supporting children's cognitive, social, and emotional development.
I'm known for being reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about helping children thrive. Whether you need full-time support, date nights, or occasional help, I'd love to connect!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I believe childhood is best experienced through rich, intentional play and exploration. I love curating experiences that are both fun and developmentally meaningful — from nature walks and outdoor discovery to arts and crafts, sensory play, and hands-on science experiments. I enjoy reading aloud and bringing stories to life in creative ways, as well as introducing children to music, movement, and cultural experiences that broaden their world. In the kitchen, I love involving children in age-appropriate cooking and baking, turning everyday moments into opportunities for learning and connection. Whether we're exploring a museum, creating art, or simply playing imaginatively at home, I bring energy, creativity, and intentionality to everything we do together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is the relationship — the trust you build with both the child and the family. Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and loved, and it is my responsibility to create that environment every single day. Being a nanny is so much more than childcare — it's showing up consistently, being a steady and nurturing presence, and treating every child as if they were my own. When a family welcomes me into their home, I take that honor seriously and give nothing less than my very best.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience volunteering with special needs children for approximately 2 years!

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most treasured nanny moments has been witnessing a child's firsts — there is truly nothing like being present for a little one's first steps or hearing them say their first word. Those milestones are magic, and I never take for granted the trust a family places in me by allowing me to be part of them. It's a reminder of why I do what I do — and it deepens my commitment to showing up every day with patience, love, and intention for every child in my care.
