More About Me

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

Raising my daughter, who has special needs, with a strong focus on structure, emotional regulation, and developmental support. I manage her homeschooling and therapies (ABA, OT, speech, and psychotherapy), as well as enrichment like music, sports, and social skills.
Caring for my four younger brothers from birth through adolescence, supporting their physical and emotional development in a nurturing, structured home.
Studying Child & Adolescent Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which has deepened my ability to connect with children, support positive behavior, and handle challenges with empathy and effective communication.
Integrating my wellness and fitness background with child care, offering calm, engaging routines, age-appropriate activities, healthy meals, and emotional support for children from infancy through school-age.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in meaningful, enriching activities that support their development and confidence. Some of my favorite things to do include:

📚 Reading stories together to build imagination, language, and bonding
🎶 Singing songs for fun, emotional expression, and memory skills
🍳 Cooking simple meals or snacks, which helps with motor skills and learning routines
🧹 Introducing age-appropriate chores, and teaching how contributing at home builds values like responsibility, teamwork, and purpose
🎬 Watching family-friendly movies and having calm, relaxing downtime together
I enjoy creating a safe, structured space where children feel included, heard, and encouraged to grow in all areas of life.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most meaningful part of being a nanny is the energy exchange—children bring such fresh perspectives, honesty, and creativity into the world. I learn so much from them every day, and that exchange is something I deeply value.

It’s also about mutual respect. I don’t just see myself as a caregiver, but as someone with the privilege of becoming part of a child’s support system during their most formative years. As both a parent and a professional, I understand the importance of nurturing not just physical needs, but also emotional growth, independence, and confidence.

Being a nanny means creating a safe, loving space where children feel seen and supported—and where I, in return, get to grow alongside them.

My experience with special needs children...

I have hands-on experience raising my daughter, who is on the autism spectrum. I manage her routines, homeschooling, and therapies (ABA, speech, OT, psychotherapy), and support her emotional and social development through structured, nurturing care.

In addition to parenting, I’ve worked professionally with special populations at the gym, training clients with IDD. This includes adapting physical activities to meet each client’s cognitive and physical needs, ensuring safety, building trust, and promoting confidence and self-esteem through movement.

I've also studied Child & Adolescent Psychology, CBT, and NLP, giving me tools to support emotional regulation, behavior strategies, and positive communication with neurodiverse children.

I provide calm and individualized care that supports growth at every level—physical, emotional, and developmental.
