More About Me

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

I've been lucky enough to be a 5th grade camp counselor for one of our local elementary schools!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning activities that match each child's age and interests — from singing songs and sensory play with little ones, to arts and crafts, story time, outdoor adventures, creative building projects, and fun educational games for older kids. Whether it’s a silly dance party or helping with homework, I enjoy making every moment fun, safe, and meaningful!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. Building trust with both the kids and their families is essential, and I believe in fostering positive relationships, promoting learning through play, and being a reliable, caring presence they can depend on.

My experience with special needs children...

My own sister is a special needs individual so I have a special place in my heart for caring for and engaging with those who might require a little extra support.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny stories is from a rainy afternoon when I helped one family's kids turn the living room into a giant "indoor campground." We built forts out of blankets, made paper campfires, and told silly, made-up stories by flashlight. It turned a gloomy day into one filled with laughter and imagination — and seeing their creativity and joy reminded me why I love this work so much! Of course, I prioritize clean up afterwards as well!
