A little bit about me

Howdy! I'm Lo! 🤠 I've been working with kids for years and genuinely love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn, play, and be themselves!!! I was a full-time live-in nanny for a little boy from ages 3–7, cared for twin infant boys from birth to 7 months, and have years of babysitting experience with children of all ages.

I'm very hands-on and love crafts, baking, library trips, outdoor adventures, games, and creative projects. I believe kids should be included in everyday life (not just entertained) so I love finding ways to turn grocery runs, cooking, errands, and daily routines into opportunities for learning and fun.

I'm endlessly curious and passionate about books, learning, and helping kids build confidence by exploring the world around them. My goal is always to bring warmth, joy, and a little whimsy into each child's day while giving parents peace of mind that their little ones are safe, loved, and well cared for!

More About Me

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

In addition to nannying, I worked for Experience Camps, a nonprofit that provides free summer camp experiences for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. Through this role, I received basic clinical training to support grieving children and spent extensive hands-on time mentoring kids ranging from first graders to teenagers. It deepened my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and creating safe, supportive environments where children feel seen and heard. Mentorship is something I'm incredibly passionate about, and I love helping kids build confidence, resilience, and curiosity while simply getting to be kids.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating a balance of adventure, creativity, and cozy moments! You'll often find us at the library, the park, museums, aquariums, farmers markets, or community events, always looking for new places to explore. At home, I love baking, cooking together, building with LEGOs, doing Pinterest crafts, reading, writing, puzzles, board games, scavenger hunts, and turning an ordinary movie into a full-on cozy movie night. I also love hiking, picnics, sports games, dance parties, bubble blowing, and neighborhood walks.

One thing that's really important to me is involving kids in everyday life. I love having them help grocery shop, plan meals, cook dinner, and make decisions along the way. I believe some of the best learning happens in ordinary moments, and I love finding ways to make the mundane feel exciting, meaningful, and fun while encouraging curiosity, independence, and confidence.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is making sure kids genuinely love being kids. I want them to feel safe, heard, understood, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Every day is a chance to learn something new, build confidence, and create joyful memories.

I also believe in knowing when to gently challenge kids to step outside their comfort zones and when they simply need someone to meet them where they are. Every child is different, and I love working alongside parents and caregivers to support their growth, encourage their curiosity, and help them become kind, confident, resilient little humans who know they have people cheering them on every step of the way.

My experience with special needs children...

While I haven't worked exclusively as a special needs nanny, I have experience supporting children with a wide range of personalities, learning styles, and emotional needs. My work with Experience Camps, where I received basic clinical training to support grieving children, taught me how to meet kids where they are with patience, empathy, and flexibility. I'm comfortable learning each child's unique needs, following care plans and family guidance, and creating a safe, encouraging environment where they can thrive. I'm always eager to learn and adapt to best support the children in my care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny memories was getting invited to my first nanny kid's Mother's Day celebration. He asked me to come watch his performance and gave me the flower craft and necklace he made. I definitely cried. 🥹 It was one of those moments that reminded me why I love working with kids so much. You spend years showing up for them in a million little ways, and then one day you realize they see you as someone they really trust and love. It's a memory I'll always hold onto.
