More About Me

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

I’ve worked with children across all age groups—from infants to teens—through roles like Lead Teacher and Teen Coordinator at the Boys and Girls Club, infant and toddler care at BJC Child Development Center, and as a supervisor for all ages at Edge Kids Fitness. Each experience has helped me grow into a nurturing and confident caregiver who knows how to meet kids where they are.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts are my go-to, but I also love creating obstacle courses, relay races, and nature adventures. I enjoy teaching kids simple cooking tasks too—anything that gets their hands moving and minds engaged!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The heart of nannying is patience, creativity, flexibility, and compassion—but above all, seeing children as full human beings. I believe in creating safe, joyful spaces where children can be their authentic selves, explore the world, and feel genuinely loved every step of the way.

My experience with special needs children...

At the Boys and Girls Club, I worked closely with children of all neurodivergent experiences—ADHD, autism, PTSD, and more. I’ve used mindfulness techniques like deep breathing, affirmations, and sensory-based redirection to help kids regulate their emotions and feel safe and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There was a little girl, just two years old, whose parents worked long hours at the hospital. She would often feel sad at drop-off, but we bonded through quiet time, reading, and play. One day, she was so engaged in our story time that she didn’t even notice her mom had arrived. When she realized it was time to go, she gave me a hug and made the little heart sign I had taught her. It was such a beautiful reminder of how love and presence can make a difference.
