Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Indoors, I love doing puzzles or building train sets with kids. I also enjoy setting up sensory play opportunities, if the equipment/materials are available. Reading books in a calm moment is also always enjoyable, as is setting up a short, kid-friendly yoga session.
Outdoors, I love helping kids explore the natural world through leaf collecting and similar simple activities. I try to share as many fun nature facts as I can recall, especially if we’re on a walk. I also love helping kids learn basic sports skills, learning games like tag and "Simon Says", etc. Anything that gets kids active is a win, in my book!

The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a nanny is simply to be engaged with children and to model emotional regulation for them so that they can learn through your consistent example.
My experience with special needs children...
I have limited experience with special needs children. However, I am open to working with special needs children if the family and I both feel that I am the right fit for the job!
I do already have a basic understanding of ADHD and some types of sensory sensitivities as well as sensory-seeking. I’m happy to be educated on other special needs topics that may come up, if needed.

The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite nanny moments is seeing my son and the child that I nanny greet each other in the morning when my son and I arrive at the nanny client’s home. It always amazes me how quickly toddlers build friendships with one another. They can be rowdy at times, but they are also so sweet and naturally affectionate.

Hi! I'm a 26 year old artist and experienced child care provider.
I have spent 10+ years working with families as their sitter/nanny, in overnight camps, in day camps, and with after school programs. Working with kids and giving the next generation a sturdy, supportive foundation is one of my passions and greatest joys.
I prioritize families who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I also know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I identify as nonbinary and have ADHD & ASD (think Amelia Bedelia-- she was a hard worker but just needed clear communication)!
I prefer meeting families and doing a working interview before agreeing to any long-term arrangement! Thank you for your time, and I hope you're having a great day.

Since age 18, I’ve provided childcare for kids ages 2-14, leading crafts, music, and yoga, and handling overnight care for up to five children, bedtime included. Most recently, I’ve worked as a Montessori guide and substitute teacher for children 0-6. I also cook and keep households running smoothly. Caregiving comes naturally to me, and I’m lit up by supporting each child’s growth and getting to know what makes them tick.
