More About Me

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

Nanny
Private Residence
I began working with the child when she was just 6 months old. From the start, I followed a consistent routine that supported her growth and well-being, incorporating Montessori-inspired approaches to encourage independence, sensory exploration, and gentle transitions. As she grew, we worked on creative projects, planted a small garden together, and engaged in hands-on learning activities that supported her cognitive and emotional development. It has been a joy to watch her thrive in a nurturing, structured environment built on love, respect, and curiosity.

I have worked as a full-time nanny, caring for four children who were 8, 5, 3, and just 3 months old when I began. I was primarily responsible for the infant’s daily care, including feeding, sleep routines, and age-appropriate developmental play, while also picking up the older children from school and planning engaging activities at home.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Outdoor play and nature walks – exploring parks, collecting leaves, and playing games that encourage movement and curiosity. Arts, painting, drawing, and making creative projects that let kids express themselves and develop fine motor skills. Reading together – I love sharing stories, using voices, and encouraging kids to engage with books and build early literacy skills. Sensory play – using materials like water, sand, or playdough to support sensory development in a fun, hands-on way.

Learning into play, like counting during a snack time or practicing letters through songs. Cooking and baking together – involving kids in age-appropriate kitchen, pretend play and role play – encouraging imagination

The most important part about being a nanny...

When they can One of my favorite nanny moments is when a child applies something we’ve been working on and I get to witness that "aha" moment.
