More About Me

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

In addition to being a middle school science teacher, I have extensive experience supervising and supporting children in structured and unstructured settings. I’ve managed classrooms of 25+ students, supervised lunch and dismissal, chaperoned field trips, and provided one on one academic support.
I regularly help students build routines, complete homework, regulate emotions, and navigate peer conflicts. My background in biology and public health also makes me very conscious of safety and attentive to children’s physical and emotional well-being.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy balancing structure with creativity. Some of my favorite activities include: Outdoor walks and park time, simple STEM experiments, arts and crafts, museums, the zoo and botanical gardens, board games, reading together.
I try to tailor actives to the child's personality, whether they're energetic or more quiet and imaginative.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, consistent, and supportive enviornment. Children thrive when they feel secure, understood, and encouraged.
For me its about building trust with the parents and the child while providing structure, warmth and reliability every day.

My experience with special needs children...

As a classroom teacher I have worked with students with IEPs and 504 plans, including children with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, and executive functioning challenges.
Im experienced in building structured routines, breaking tasks into manageable steps, using positive reinforcement, supporting emotional regulation.
I prioritize patience, predictability, and helping children build confidence in their abilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was when a student who initially struggled with confidence in science proudly told me they finally fully understood a concept we were working on. Watching a child move from frustration to confidence and knowing I helped create that shift is incredibly rewarding.
I love seeing children realize what they’re capable of.
