I have extensive experience caring for children from newborn through preschool age, including establishing daily routines, supporting healthy sleep habits, preparing bottles and meals, diapering, potty training, planning age appropriate developmental activities, and assisting with preschool readiness.I also have experience caring for siblings, managing multiple children at once, maintaining open communication with parents, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

I enjoy engaging infants in a variety of gentle, age appropriate activities that support their early development, such as tummy time to build strength, reading simple board books, singing lullabies and nursery rhymes, and playing soft music. I also like providing sensory experiences with textured toys, rattles, and safe objects to explore, as well as encouraging visual tracking with high-contrast images.In addition, I incorporate interactive play like peek a boo, gentle movement activities, and plenty of cuddling and talking to help support bonding, language development, and a sense of security.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Loving, nurturing and bonding with children.
