A little bit about me

I bring over 17 years of hands-on experience in early childhood education as the owner and operator of a preschool and childcare program. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business and have completed extensive coursework and professional development hours in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children from infancy through school age, supporting their social, emotional, and developmental growth in nurturing, structured environments. As both an educator and childcare business owner, I developed age-appropriate curricula, maintained safe and enriching learning spaces, partnered closely with families, and managed daily care routines with consistency and compassion. I am deeply committed to creating a secure, engaging environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive.

More About Me

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

I worked as a paraeducator for 6 months within the school district, supporting students in the resource room who required additional academic, behavioral, or emotional assistance. In this role, I worked closely with teachers and specialists to provide individualized support, reinforce learning goals, and help students build confidence and independence in a structured, supportive environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate experiences for children through a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, creative projects, and hands-on cooking or baking. I love incorporating daily movement through walks, outdoor play, and visits to local parks, as well as exploring the community through trips to the library, children’s museums, zoos, and other educational outings. I also enjoy reading together, imaginative play, sensory activities, music, and simple science or nature-based experiences, all designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and make learning enjoyable.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting, nurturing relationship with both the child and the family. Creating a safe, consistent, and loving environment allows children to feel secure, confident, and supported as they grow and explore the world. A great nanny balances warmth with structure, listens closely to each child’s needs, and partners with parents through open communication, reliability, and respect, always keeping the child’s well-being and development at the center of everything they do.
