A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mai, and I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I grew up in a household with five siblings, three of whom are younger, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I also spent time helping my aunt with her home daycare, which is where I truly fell in love with working with kids and gained experience with children of different personalities and needs.

Professionally, I worked for two years at Stepping Stones Learning Centers, where I cared for infants, toddlers, and five-year-olds, supporting their daily routines, learning, and development. I also worked at the YMCA as a counselor and summer camp counselor, working with elementary and middle school students in structured, safe, and engaging environments. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, empathy, and individualized care.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes helping raise my younger siblings, providing daily supervision, support, and guidance. I also assisted my aunt with her home daycare, gaining hands-on experience with children of various ages and needs. Professionally, I worked as a teacher aide at Stepping Stones Learning Centers and as a counselor and summer camp counselor at the YMCA, where I supported children in structured, safe, and engaging environments.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children are hands-on, engaging, and interactive. I am naturally energetic, which helps me connect well with children and match their enthusiasm. I enjoy planning games, creative projects, and activities that encourage movement, participation, and fun. I especially love outdoor activities, as they allow children to explore, stay active, and learn in a natural way. I also value creating meaningful bonding moments through play, teamwork, and shared experiences, ensuring children feel engaged, supported, and excited to learn and have fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and trusting environment where a child feels secure, valued, and supported. A nanny plays a key role in a child’s daily life, so being patient, attentive, and dependable is essential. Understanding each child’s individual needs, routines, and personality helps build trust and encourages healthy emotional, social, and developmental growth. A great nanny also communicates openly with parents, sets positive examples, and provides consistent care that helps children feel confident and cared for every day.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience working with children with special needs includes supporting children who required additional care and individualized attention during my time at Stepping Stones Learning Centers and as a counselor at the YMCA. Through these roles, I learned how to adapt routines, communicate effectively, and modify activities to meet each child’s unique needs. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and creating an inclusive, supportive environment where every child feels safe and valued.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny-related moment, although I have not officially held a nanny title, occurred while I was a teacher aide at Stepping Stones Learning Centers. After returning from vacation, the children’s excitement and happiness upon seeing me highlighted the strong relationships and trust I had built with them. That experience was especially meaningful and reinforced the importance of consistency, connection, and emotional support in childcare, further strengthening my passion for working with children.
