More About Me

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

In addition to nannying, I have served as a day camp counselor, childcare worker for Mothers of Preschoolors International (MOPS) and preschool teacher for 2 and 3 year-olds.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love going on walks and playing outside with kids, exploring parks and playgrounds, reading books aloud, and doing art projects!
I also love infants and the sweet times of feeding them and putting them down for a nap, as well as playtime and tummy time!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The privilege and honor of being part of the lives of these kids and the fact that parents are trusting you to be part of their kids' lives!
I also deeply love becoming part of the family and developing friendships with the parents of the kids I nanny.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked at a clinic for toddlers with autism for the last year, as well as a summer day camp counselor for kids with disabilities!
