More About Me

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

I have always known that I wanted to work with children. At 15, I began volunteering with children from underserved communities, including families experiencing homelessness. That experience opened my eyes to how different every child’s circumstances can be and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, understanding, and positive guidance.

It showed me that sometimes a child simply needs someone to listen, care, encourage them, and help them feel valued. Those early experiences shaped who I am today and strengthened my passion for supporting children through every stage of their lives.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Some of my favorite activities with children include traveling, attending their sporting events and activities, exploring new places, and simply being active and playful together. I love getting down on their level, joining in their world, and creating meaningful memories.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a nanny is experiencing the world through a child’s eyes. Their excitement and curiosity make everyday moments feel special, and I love helping them discover new experiences while creating happy childhood memories they will always remember.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe one of the most important parts of being a nanny is truly connecting with the child and understanding their emotions, whether they are happy, sad, frustrated, or upset. I strive to see the world from their perspective and recognize that they may not always have the words to express how they feel.

My goal is to patiently guide them, build their confidence, and help them understand their emotions while treating them with kindness and respect. I want every child to know how important and valued they are, while teaching them that even difficult moments can be worked through and turned into positive learning experiences.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with a variety of special needs, including autism, mobility challenges, wheelchairs, and trauma-related needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, compassion, and individualized care.

I believe every child deserves to feel valued, respected, included, and loved. I focus on seeing the child first, recognizing their unique strengths, and creating a safe and supportive environment where they can feel confident and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny memories was traveling internationally with a family to the British Islands. It was such a beautiful and peaceful experience, and I loved seeing the children’s excitement as they explored the ocean, tried new things, and experienced a completely different environment. Being able to create those special memories, share new experiences, and feel so connected with the children made it truly unforgettable
