More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
my roles as a Licensed Social Worker and as the Outreach and Development Coordinator for CASA for Kids, Inc. In these positions, I have dedicated myself to advocating for children's well-being, coordinating critical support systems, and ensuring they have safe, nurturing environments to thrive in.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
.include engaging them in creative, hands-on DIY projects like building miniature terrariums, crafting, and painting. I also love introducing them to collaborative building challenges, like working together on complex Harry Potter or SpongeBob construction sets, which are fantastic for encouraging problem-solving and focus while keeping things incredibly fun.
The most important part about being a nanny...
...is building a foundation of trust, safety, and patient understanding. It’s about meeting each child exactly where they are—whether that means creating a calm, supportive space that respects their unique needs, or encouraging their curiosity through hands-on creativity. Ultimately, being a great nanny means providing a steady, reliable presence so children feel secure enough to explore, learn, and grow into exactly who they are meant to be.
My experience with special needs children...
comes naturally from my background in social work, where I've focused on meeting children exactly where they are. I understand that every child has unique sensory, emotional, and communication needs, and I excel at creating structured, patient, and adaptive environments where they feel safe and understood. Whether it’s tailoring a creative activity to match their energy levels or providing a calm, steady presence during overwhelming moments, my goal is always to support their individual strengths and well-being.
The most important part about being a nanny...
...is always that breakthrough moment when a child completely loses themselves in the joy of creating something with their own two hands. There is nothing quite like watching a child's face light up with pride after we've spent hours meticulously building a complex Lego castle or carefully crafting a miniature terrarium together. Seeing their imagination come to life—and knowing I helped create a patient, encouraging space for them to explore and succeed—is incredibly rewarding and exactly why I love what I do.
