A little bit about me

I am a warm, dependable, and connection-focused caregiver who believes children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to explore. My approach centers around play-based learning, outdoor time, and building strong, trusting relationships with the children I care for. I love supporting curiosity through imaginative play, creative activities, and hands-on experiences while also providing gentle structure and consistency. I value open communication with parents and strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where children can grow emotionally and socially. Because my husband will be away for military training, my two daughters (5 and almost 3) will be with me, creating a natural, social setting where kids can learn friendship and cooperation. I am patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating meaningful connections while helping families feel supported and at ease.

More About Me

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

I have previous nannying experience caring for multiple children of different ages. I’m also a mother of two young daughters (5 and almost 3), which has given me extensive hands-on experience with child development, routines, and emotional support. In my previous job at a children’s consignment boutique, I worked closely with families daily, helping parents navigate different stages from pregnancy through early childhood. I also have experience in early childhood development courses .

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love encouraging imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading together, building projects, and creative storytelling. I also enjoy getting kids outside as much as possible — walks, park trips, nature exploration, bike rides, and simple outdoor games. I believe in balancing fun with structure by creating routines that include learning, independent play, and opportunities for kids to build confidence and curiosity about the world

The most important part about being a nanny...

Growing up, much of my childcare came from family members, which helped me understand how important it is for parents to have someone they trust to care for their children. It showed me how meaningful safe, reliable, and affordable childcare can be for families. As a nanny, I value building that same sense of trust and support while creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and free to explore through play and connection.

My experience with special needs children...

During COVID, I supported a child I nannied with virtual schooling over Zoom. He had speech and learning delays, which required me to develop creative and patient ways to keep him engaged academically and help him work through assignments at his pace

The most important part about being a nanny...

Teaching one of the first kids I nannied how to ride a bike. After they finally got the hang of it, they challenged me to a race — and I got completely smoked by a 5-year-old!
