A little bit about me

I'm a dependable and creative caregiver passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I bring a unique blend of artistic skills, hands-on teaching, and a nurturing spirit. I have experience leading sewing workshops, creating educational booklets, and designing interactive lessons — and I love using those skills to spark curiosity and confidence in kids through play, crafts, and real-world learning.

Whether we're building a cardboard city, making DIY costumes, or exploring nature, I make every day fun and meaningful. I enjoy staying active, doing outdoor games, and helping kids express themselves through art and creativity. I'm also tech-savvy and happy to help with homework, light chores, and managing household routines.

With a background in instructional design and workshop facilitation, I understand how to make learning accessible and fun. I always aim to be a positive and dependable presence in your home.

Let's chat and see how I can help support your family!

More About Me

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

I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in creative, active, and supportive roles. I spent two years helping a single father care for his children, assisting with daily routines, meals, and activities.

In addition, I’ve taught sewing to children to build confidence, creativity, and focus while introducing practical life skills in a fun and safe environment.

I also worked at Six Flags for a season, gaining experience in a fast-paced, high-energy environment centered around families and children. That role taught me to stay calm under pressure, and keep kids engaged and safe during significant public events.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Sewing Projects: Teaching kids how to hand-sew or use a machine with simple sewing techniques.

Arts & Crafts: Painting, paper crafts, upcycling, and encouraging creative expression through fun, hands-on projects.

🎲 Games & Playtime: Board games, make-believe adventures, or outdoor play to help children explore their imagination.

Reading: To help build skills and create quiet time.

Creative Learning: Turning everyday moments into learning opportunities, with natural skill-building.

Tech-Smart Activities: Using educational apps, virtual tools, or digital art programs that support learning and creativity.

Outdoor Exploration: Walks, nature scavenger hunts, sidewalk chalk, and outdoor games that get kids connecting with the world around them.

🐶 Animal Time – I’m pet-friendly and love involving children in caring for and interacting with animals when appropriate.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I work to create a safe and encouraging space with boundaries where children can grow. Children should be supported and celebrated for even small accomplishments that lead to bigger ones. I believe in nurturing creativity and being a steady, caring presence they can count on while making a positive impact on their growing development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The best moments are when a child overcomes a challenge, like finishing a tote bag on the sewing machine, finally riding their bike without training wheels after being so scared, or learning to make handmade cards that they give to everyone with love. See children fill up with confidence to accomplish more than expected.
