I’m CPR/First Aid certified, dependable, and always bring patience and creativity into every home. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping routines on track, I give every child the attention and care they deserve. I’m comfortable with all ages, including infants and toddlers.

More About Me

• Family babysitting: I’ve been trusted by family and friends for years to care for their children, from newborns to school-aged kids.

• Daycare assistant: I helped at a home daycare, supporting daily routines like feeding, diapering, nap time, and playtime.
• After-school help: I’ve assisted with homework, meal prep, and after-school care for working parents.
• Siblings & family care: I’ve cared for younger siblings and relatives regularly, handling everything to bedtime routines

• Reading books and storytelling
• Arts and crafts (drawing, coloring, DIY projects)
• Playing educational games and puzzles
• Singing songs and dancing
• Outdoor play like going to the park, nature walks, or backyard fun

• Creating fun daily routines and themed play days (like Pajama Day or Science Day!)

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part about being a nanny is building trust and connection—with both the children and the parents. Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported, and I work hard to create that kind of environment. I believe in being dependable, nurturing, and respectful of each family’s values and routines. It’s not just about watching kids—it’s about helping them grow, learn, and feel loved.

My experience with special needs children...

Experience with Special Needs Children:
I have experience caring for children with special needs, including those with autism, developmental delays, and sensory sensitivities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and clear communication. I work hard to create a calm, supportive environment that fits each child’s unique needs. I’m comfortable following therapy routines, using visual aids, and adapting activities to help every child feel included, safe, and understood.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny was when a toddler I had been caring for finally said my name for the first time. We had been working on speech together, and I’d been with the family for months. The joy on their face—and mine—was unforgettable. Moments like that remind me why I love this work: being part of a child’s growth and knowing I’m making a difference.
