A little bit about me

Hi there!

I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with teaching and childcare experience, specializing in children from infancy through age six. I’ve worked in both classroom and in-home settings and enjoy supporting early development, from first words and potty training to preschool readiness.

I’m passionate about creating safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences that help children grow with confidence. I bring patience, structure, and fun to each day through activities like story time, sensory play, music, and outdoor time.

I’m CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable caring for multiple children, and respectful of family routines. I value open communication with parents and strive to be a dependable, positive extension of your home.

If you need full time care, I can begin June. If you need part-time/occasional care, I can start ASAP. Also, I am open to a nanny-share arrangement.

More About Me

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

My experience includes working as a classroom teacher and serving families through various childcare platforms and centers. I’ve supported 30+ families, coordinating educational and play-based activities, ensuring safety, and maintaining routines. I also served with Abundant Life, mentoring middle school girls and leading small group activities for elementary-aged children in after-school settings.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with toddlers and preschool-aged children include anything that supports their growth, independence, and curiosity. I love reading interactive books, singing songs with motions, and doing hands-on crafts that help build fine motor skills. I also enjoy sensory play (like water, sand, or playdough), simple science experiments, and creative pretend play that builds language and imagination.

For preschool prep, I love incorporating early learning through fun—like practicing letters, numbers, colors, and shapes through games, songs, and everyday routines. I enjoy setting up structured yet playful activities that help children get ready for the classroom environment while still having fun and feeling safe.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting, loving relationship with both the child and the family. It’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Being patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs helps foster their growth and happiness. I believe a nanny is not just a caregiver but also a positive role model and partner to parents in raising happy, confident kids.

My experience with special needs children...

While I haven’t worked directly with children with special needs, I’ve supported inclusive classrooms with students who had IEPs and have experience being around children on the autism spectrum within family settings. I approach every child with patience, respect, and a willingness to learn from families about their unique needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite parts of being a nanny is seeing the joy and wonder on a child’s face—whether we’re playing on the playground, taking walks around the neighborhood, or discovering something new together. Watching their imagination and curiosity burst in those everyday moments is truly special.
