More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes working as a nanny for two girls, beginning when they were ages 8 and 10, providing both summer and after-school care. I supported them with homework, planned creative activities, arts and crafts, outings, and playdates, and maintained safe and consistent routines. I also have extensive experience with school-age children through Denver Public Schools, where I worked in before- and after-school programs as a Site Coordinator, Program Director, and Program Leader. In these roles, I supervised children, facilitated activities, managed daily programming, and focused on building positive, authentic relationships with children and families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing activities with children that encourage creativity, play, exploration, and independence. Some of my favorites include arts and crafts, imaginative projects, outdoor activities, trips to parks, playdates, and exploring new places together. I also enjoy helping children with homework and finding fun ways to make learning engaging. I especially value activities that give children the freedom to express their own ideas, make choices, and build confidence while having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating an environment where children feel both physically and emotionally safe. Trust is essential—not only between the nanny and the children, but also between the nanny and the parents. Once that foundation of safety and trust is there, there is room for fun, creativity, exploration, and meaningful experiences together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many wonderful moments that it is hard to choose just one. My favorite moments are often the simple ones—when everything is going just right, everyone feels comfortable and content, and we are genuinely connected and enjoying our time together. Whether we are creating something, playing, talking, or simply sharing a quiet moment, I really value that feeling of trust and connection that develops when children feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves.
