More About Me
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love doing outdoor games with children because it’s a space where you can see them fully come alive. Kids tend to be more open, energetic, and themselves outside, and that makes it easier to connect with them in a genuine way.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I believe one of the most important parts of being a nanny is helping guide children toward becoming kind, respectful, and responsible individuals. Children are constantly learning from the people around them, so it’s important to model positive behavior, values, and attitudes in everyday moments. It’s not just about caring for them, it’s about teaching them how to treat others, how to make good choices, and how to grow with confidence.
My experience with special needs children...
I have a very personal connection to working with children with special needs since I have a brother with autism. Growing up with him has taught me so much about patience, love and understanding. I’ve learned how to recognize triggers and respond calmly during meltdowns or moments of overstimulation.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite moments as a nanny is when it’s time for me to leave and the children ask me to stay a little longer. It shows me that they feel safe, happy, and truly enjoy the time we spend together. It also means a lot when parents share with me how their children talk about me at home, hearing that they speak positively about our time together reassures me that I’m making a meaningful impact. Those moments remind me why I love what I do and encourage me to keep giving my best to every child I care for.
