More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I’m a mother to a 6yo daughter, and I have daycare experience.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I really love keeping kids active and engaged with fun, screen-free activities! On any given day, we might bring a favorite book to life with 'Living Storybook' drama play, build a blanket fort for flashlight shadow puppetry, or test out a toddler-safe science experiment. I also specialize in setting up tactile sensory bins to support fine motor skills and turning everyday tasks like basic baking or light gardening into interactive games. My goal is always to create a safe, supportive space where your child can thrive through creative play.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The absolute best part of being a nanny is watching a child's confidence skyrocket when they master a new skill or make a breakthrough during creative discovery. I love creating supportive, screen-free environments where children feel safe to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
In my care, daily routines are packed with unique, interactive activities tailored to your child's developmental stage. This includes 'Living Storybook' play and shadow puppetry to expand early language skills, as well as safe, hands-on STEAM experiments for early math exploration. I love setting up tactile sensory bins to promote fine motor skills, creating active living room obstacle courses for rainy days, and turning basic household life skills—like gardening, meal prep, and baking—into fun, rewarding games that foster real-world independence.
