A little bit about me

Hi families! I’ve been working as a nanny for about 20 years and truly love what I do. I have reliable transportation and can provide great references.

I’m definitely more of an outdoorsy nanny and like to keep kids active with fun, planned activities. I also really enjoy doing arts and crafts and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged.
In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, running errands, and even pet care if needed.

More About Me

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

I have been a long-term nanny for four different families, where I provided consistent, attentive care and built strong, trusting relationships.
In addition to nannying, I worked at an elementary school as an activity aide for grades kindergarten through 5th, where I organized and planned engaging activities that supported both learning and social development.
I also have experience as a lifeguard and swim instructor, teaching children through adults water safety and swimming skills.
Earlier on, I gained experience babysitting for family members, which helped build my foundation in childcare and responsibility.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

“I really enjoy staying active and engaged with kids through a variety of activities. I love arts and crafts, playing board games, and spending time outdoors at the park. I also enjoy taking kids to places like the children’s museum or swimming, and I like planning fun activities that keep them learning and entertained.”

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with children that have ADHD & Autism

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was taking the kids sledding down their driveway and nearby hill. Afterward, one of the children told me I was “both an adult and a kid at the same time.” That moment stuck with me because it reflected the balance I strive for as a caregiver—creating a fun, engaging environment while still providing structure, safety, and guidance.
