Experienced in caring for children with trauma histories and disabilities, while fostering positive development, independence, and confidence.

Outdoor activities include trips to the park, nature walks, scavenger hunts, playground time, sports, bike rides, sidewalk chalk, water play, and other active games that promote exercise and exploration. I strive to create a safe, positive, and enriching environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is building a trusting and positive relationship with both the children and their family. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and valued. Knowing that I can play a role in their growth, development, and happiness while giving parents peace of mind is the most rewarding part of what I do.

My experience with special needs children...

Through my work in childcare and at a local counseling office, I have experience supporting children with a variety of needs, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, developmental delays, and children who have experienced trauma. I focus on providing patient, individualized support, helping children build confidence, develop coping skills, and succeed in their daily routines and activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite memories working with children was spending a sunny afternoon finger painting outside and then taking the kids to the park. Seeing their excitement as they created colorful artwork and then laughed, played, and explored together made it such a special day. Moments like those remind me how rewarding it is to help children learn, grow, and enjoy being kids.
