More About Me

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

I have experience as a live-in nanny and as an occasional babysitter for families with children ranging from infancy to pre-teen years. I also have a 2 year old nephew, who I've actively participated in his care and development from when he was 5 days old. This comprehensive experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the various stages of a child's growth and the specific needs associated with each stage. Assisted in feeding him, including bottle-feeding and later introducing solid foods. Changed diapers, helped in his potty training journey, and engaged in interactive play and education activities to help enhance his cognitive, motor, and social skills.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading books, playing age-appropriate games, and encouraging and engaging in imaginative play. I also love going on adventures with children, including going to the playground, the park, the Children's Museum in Portland, and the beach in the summer. (I have taken children as young as 14 months old to private and group swim lessons).

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being understanding, patience, and empathetic. Children as experiencing so many things for the very first time, and it's important to remember that, especially when children become overwhelmed. Maintaining a calm demeanor, displaying patience and giving support to children to help them work through all the ups and downs that naturally occur with their developing minds.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Working with young children has instilled in me a deep sense of love, patience, and empathy in all areas of my life. Children can teach us a lot, especially about patience, curiosity, and the beauty of life.
