Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I like to get to know the children that I’m working with so I can figure out the best ways to help them learn and succeed through play. I also enjoy just playing for play sake. I like playing board games, doing art, doing STEM activities, singing songs, and dancing. I absolutely love reading and books and as a preschool teacher have accrued a large library covering a variety of subjects that I would love to share. I also love playing outside and exploring all of the amazing things that nature can offer.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is ensuring the safety and happiness of the children in my care. Providing a steady and consistent environment where I can model and teach children the developmental milestones that they will need in order to grow and be successful.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked for several years with children with special needs both in home and school settings. In these settings diversity and inclusiveness were modeled, taught, and encouraged.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment would have to be when one of my kids was struggling with something and I was able to help them succeed at it. Those lightbulb moments are absolutely priceless!
