More About Me

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

In addition to my nanny experience, I previously worked for an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company, where I provided individualized care and support to children with autism. This role helped me develop a deep understanding of developmental milestones, positive reinforcement techniques, and creating tailored, engaging activities to support children’s growth and learning.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, and I love planning activities that help children thrive. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with children include:
Art activities: Painting, drawing, and other creative arts to foster self-expression and fine motor skills.
Playing outside: Whether it’s running, playing catch, or exploring nature, I love encouraging kids to be active and enjoy the outdoors.
Being active: From dancing to playing games that get kids moving, I aim to keep children engaged and energized in ways that support both physical and emotional well-being.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is providing a safe, nurturing, and consistent environment for the children in your care. This means ensuring their physical and emotional safety, building trust, and offering a sense of security. A nanny must be patient, empathetic, and responsive to a child’s needs, while also maintaining a predictable routine to help them feel secure. Encouraging growth and development through age-appropriate activities is crucial, along with open communication with parents to stay aligned on expectations and progress. Lastly, being adaptable and flexible is key, as children can be unpredictable. In essence, being a nanny is about being a trusted caregiver who fosters both immediate well-being and long-term development in a child’s life. When these elements are in place, the child can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively.
