Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love engaging children in fun, meaningful activities that support their growth and spark their curiosity. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include:
• Outdoor play – going for walks, playing at the park, water play, and nature scavenger hunts to help burn energy and build motor skills
• Arts and crafts – painting, coloring, sensory play (like playdough or kinetic sand), and seasonal crafts that allow for creativity and self-expression
• Story time and reading – reading books together, encouraging language development and imagination
• Music and movement – singing songs, dancing, or playing simple rhythm games to support coordination and mood
• Building and imaginative play – using blocks, dolls, or pretend play scenarios to foster creativity and problem-solving
• Learning games – age-appropriate puzzles, matching games, or educational activities that encourage cognitive development while still being fun
• Quiet time – calming routines like coloring, guided

The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a nanny is building trust and creating a safe, loving environment where children can feel secure, valued, and free to be themselves. It’s about being a consistent, caring presence who supports not just the child’s needs, but the whole family’s well-being.
My experience with special needs children...
As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have hands-on experience working closely with children who have autism and other developmental differences. I’ve supported children across a range of abilities—both verbal and non-verbal—and have been trained in behavior management, communication strategies, and individualized care.
I regularly work one-on-one with children to help them build communication, emotional regulation, social skills, and independence. I’m comfortable using tools like visual schedules, AAC devices, and sensory supports, and I understand how important it is to approach each child with patience, empathy, and respect for their unique needs.
Beyond behavior support, my role often includes assisting with daily routines such as meals, toileting, hygiene, transitions, and structured play—all while ensuring the child feels safe, understood, and supported. I also work closely with families and therapists to maintain consistency and celebrate every milestone, big or small.
