More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have worked as both a full-time nanny and a private caregiver, supporting families with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. In addition to my nanny work, my CNA background has given me experience with daily routines, safety awareness, first aid, and emotional support. I assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework, and bedtime routines to help families maintain balance and consistency.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy reading books to children, doing arts and crafts, exploring nature, going for walks, playing educational games, and cooking simple, fun recipes together. I love encouraging creativity, curiosity, and kindness while helping children develop confidence and independence.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a nanny is building a strong, trusting bond with the children and their family. I believe that being a great nanny means showing reliability, empathy, and genuine care, creating a positive, safe, and loving space where children feel valued and supported.
My experience with special needs children...
As a CNA, I’ve developed strong skills in caring for individuals with diverse needs, including developmental and behavioral challenges. I understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive communication to support each child’s unique personality and abilities.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite moments was helping a shy little girl gain confidence in herself. Over time, she went from being quiet and reserved to singing and dancing freely. Watching her blossom reminded me how much trust and encouragement can transform a child’s confidence.
