More About Me

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

I’ve helped care for kids in all kinds of settings—church nurseries, convention centers, hotels, and even as a swim instructor. Those experiences taught me how to connect with kids quickly and keep things running smoothly, no matter the environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing activities that support each child’s age and personality—including tummy time with babies, reading books, going on walks, sensory play, and making up fun games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is making children feel safe, understood, and cared for. It’s not just about routines—it’s about showing up consistently, building trust, and helping each child grow into who they are with kindness and patience.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve cared for medically complex infants and children with developmental delays, including a long-term role with a premature baby who had reflux, torticollis, and other health challenges. I’m confident with routines and adapting care to meet a child’s unique needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping sleep train a 5-month-old who had to be rocked to sleep every time. After a few weeks of gentle sleep training, he learned to self-soothe and started putting himself to sleep on his own. It was such a rewarding milestone to reach together.
