A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a loving mother of three with a passion for caring for babies and supporting families during one of life’s most precious seasons. I hold a BFA in Fashion Design and have spent over 10 years as an independent seamstress and formalwear alterations specialist, developing patience, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. While I enjoy my work, I’m beginning pre-nursing studies because I feel called to care for babies in the NICU or Labor & Delivery. As both a mother and caregiver, I understand the importance of trust and would be honored to support your family during the postpartum period and beyond. I have experience caring for twins and am happy to help with infants ages 0–18 months, light meal prep, laundry, and light housekeeping. I have reliable transportation, am recertifying my CPR and First Aid training, and strive to provide a safe, nurturing, and dependable environment for every family I serve.

I look forward to hearing from you.

More About Me

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

While my professional childcare experience has primarily been with friends and family, I have provided dependable, loving care whenever needed. My greatest experience comes from raising my own three wonderful children, including twins, which has given me hands-on experience with infant care, establishing routines, managing multiple children at once, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I understand the patience, flexibility, and trust that quality childcare requires, and I care for every child as if they were my own.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and development. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, sensory play, reading books, singing songs, outdoor walks, and imaginative play. I also enjoy supporting daily routines such as preparing nutritious meals, feeding babies, bath time, and creating a calm environment for naps. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching space where children feel loved, secure, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is providing not only exceptional care for a child, but also meaningful support for the parents—especially mothers. Caring for babies is something I truly love, but I also understand how physically & emotionally delicate the first two years after birth can be.
I would love to build a trusting relationship with mother & baby so Mom feels safe, supported, & confident knowing she has an extra set of loving, dependable hands.
When I had my twins (during COVID) living overseas, I often wished I had an extra pair of hands. Being far from family & my usual support system left me feeling overwhelmed & struggling with PPD. It wasn’t until after my second pregnancy that I got to see the difference a support and community can make. That experience shaped my heart for this work. I want to be the kind of support I once needed—a calm, dependable presence who helps lighten the load so parents can enjoy these precious early moments with their baby.

My experience with special needs children...

While I do not have formal experience caring for children with special needs, I am open, willing, and eager to learn. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, understanding, and individualized care. I would be committed to working alongside parents, learning their child’s specific needs, routines, and communication styles to provide the best possible support and care.
