A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Hillary, and I’ve spent many years working with children in preschool and childcare environments. I’m caring, fun, patient, and reliable, and I genuinely love being around kids. I enjoy planning activities, getting creative, spending time outdoors, and helping children learn through play. One thing that makes me unique is my ability to build strong connections with children while still maintaining structure and routines. I strive to create a safe, positive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to explore the world around them.

More About Me

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

I have several years of experience working with children in both preschool and elementary school settings. I currently work as a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have also worked with second-grade students in a school setting. My experience includes supporting learning, helping with homework, planning activities, managing behavior, and creating a safe, positive environment for children to thrive. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy planning fun, engaging activities that help children learn and explore. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, sensory play, baking, reading stories, music and movement, and outdoor adventures. I love spending time outside at parks and playgrounds, going on nature walks, and encouraging active play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I want children to feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn and explore. I also believe in building a strong partnership with parents so that everyone is working together to help their child grow, gain confidence, and create happy memories.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with a variety of needs and learning styles, including children who benefit from extra support with communication, social skills, emotional regulation, and attention. I focus on being patient, understanding, and creating a structured, supportive environment where every child feels safe, included, and successful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was when a child proudly introduced me to their family as “my best friend.” It was such a simple comment, but it meant a lot because it showed the trust and connection we had built together. Those relationships are what make working with children so rewarding.
