A little bit about me

Hey there, nice to meet you!

As a full-time career nanny for the last several years, I’m passionate about fostering a warm, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and thrive. I love finding ways to weave learning into everyday activities, whether it’s arts and crafts, singing songs, or a fun outing. From the ABCs to emotional regulation, it’s all a part of what I teach!

I bring experience and confidence to my work with children of all ages, though I specialize in infants and toddlers. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Family Science, and frequently seek out resources in my free time to dive deeper into the world of child development.

I take pride in the work I do as a nanny and feel honored to support families in raising the next generation. I know it’s important to find someone you can trust and depend on to care for your little one(s). I would love to chat and see if we’re a good fit.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is recognizing just how vital of a role you can play in the children’s lives. Not only am I responsible for their physical safety, but as one of the adults with whom they spend a large amount of time, I can truly be an influence for good in their lives. I get to be another person who they know loves them no matter what and will support them through the struggles they face.

Being a nanny is not a position that I take lightly. I constantly seek ways to help children learn new things, hit developmental milestones, and navigate the tough situations life can throw our way. I recognize I’m not just watching a baby or toddler, I’m influencing who that child might become as they grow into an adult. My goal is to make as positive of an impact that I possibly can in their lives.

My experience with special needs children...

I provided care to a child on the autism spectrum (age 5-6).

The most important part about being a nanny...

I’m having a hard time picking a favorite because there are so many wonderful parts of being a nanny. There was a little boy I cared for from the ages of 15 months to 28 months. Witnessing his growth in every aspect, and playing a role in his learning, has been extremely rewarding. The first time he said my name, my heart absolutely melted into a puddle. Every time he learns something new, the pride and wonder I feel never goes away! That’s got to be my favorite part of being a nanny. There is such a sweet bond that can form between a nanny and her “nanny kids” that really makes this my dream job.
