More About Me

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

I’ve supported children from birth to 5 years in diverse roles—night nanny, infant caregiver, Early Head Start home visitor, and inclusion preschool teacher. My work includes newborn sleep support, developmental screenings, trauma-informed care, and individualized learning. I build trusting bonds with families, honor each child’s rhythm, and offer presence-based care that nurtures secure attachment and growth.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in creative, sensory-rich experiences—like art, dancing, singing, and reading together. I enjoy exploring the world through their eyes: walks, nature play, community outings, and meaningful conversations. I also bring in early STEM concepts, finger plays, and curiosity-led learning that nurtures wonder, joy, and connection.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is honoring each child as whole and unique—meeting them with presence, respect, and attunement. I also deeply value supporting each family’s natural rhythm, culture, and needs, creating a partnership built on trust, care, and mutual understanding.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience supporting children with diverse needs, including autism, developmental delays, and complex medical or behavioral profiles. In inclusive classroom and home settings, I’ve implemented IFP/IEPs, collaborated with therapists, and adapted environments to promote access, regulation, and joy. My approach centers on empathy, attunement, and honoring each child’s unique strengths.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are when I witness a child’s growth—those subtle yet powerful milestones that reveal their unfolding. I especially cherish sharing these reflections with families: a joyful moment, a new word, a discovery in play. Being able to celebrate their child’s wonder with them is the most rewarding part of this work.
