A little bit about me

I enjoy most activities outdoors and love all things Florida! I love a tidy home and am a queen at multitasking!

I was a professional nanny for several years for amazing families before marrying and starting a family .

I then opened my own successful home daycare for 12 yrs. Upon its closure, I began working as a preschool teacher and also managing the infant/toddler center.

I enjoy all aspects of my childcare: nanny, daycare owner, teacher.
In 2014 I made the decision to leave the classroom and return to the private sector care of nanny, as I’d learned it was my most favorite.

I’ve found that I enjoy the individualized care given as a nanny and the bond is greater. The joy I get in watching a child master a newly learned skill is as if I’ve learned it myself! I love being an important part of their formidable years!

I’ve made caring for/teaching children my passion and have 3 decades of exp. I’m here to offer quality care of children and assisting the parents and home!

More About Me

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

I taught preschool to 3/4 yrs olds and VPK and was voted Teacher of the Month and later, Teacher of the Yesr.
I was my sons Den Leader for Boy Scouts,
I operated a successful home based daycare during my children’s formidable years.
I taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible School for many years.
I’ve taken CPR and infant first aid countless times in the last 27 yrs.
I’ve taken 20 hours of continuing education courses every summer when I was teaching in the classroom as mandated by the state of Florida.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love exploring outdoors, splashpads, swimming pools, nature hikes, library story times, zoo, aquarium, petting farm, plays, children museums, art projects.

Children learn by doing. What is it that they do? They play! So I provide ways to teach them through play! They are more apt to absorb the skill and learn it if it’s fun!
ABC’s, shapes, colors etc can be taught with chalk outdoors, using a paintbrush and cup with water on a wooden fence or driveway, writing with index finger on a salt tray. Learning doesn’t just come from paper and pencil. Kids have to DO IT, to learn it!

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me the most important part of being a nanny is to be a loving, patient and nurturing caregiver during their younger years as they learn and grow into little humans!

I’m also there to assist the parent(s) in areas to alleviate any stress off them so when they come home from work they can put the mom/dad hat on and actively engage with their little ones (who missed them all day) when they walk in. Not having to bring in recycling bins and take out trash and all the household tasks that take time and energy away from their focus on the kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve cared for a young girl with Downs Syndrome

The most important part about being a nanny...

I could never pinpoint a favorite moment! I see the “firsts”, I see the joy as they discover a new skill and the rode they have to show it off! I love teaching them their autonomy and independence (yet love when they come back for the love and cuddles and reassurance!)!
I could never even choose a favorite age or stage in childhood. Every moment is just a blink and goes by way too fast!
