A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a warm, nurturing, and experienced caregiver with over 30 years of working with young children, both in the classroom and in the home. I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, and for the past decade, I’ve had the joy of working as a private nanny for families in the Berkeley area. I bring a calm, thoughtful presence, a deep understanding of early childhood development, and a strong respect for each child’s individuality.

I love partnering with new parents—offering support, encouragement, and practical wisdom while helping little ones grow with curiosity, confidence, and joy. I’m especially drawn to families who value gentle communication, meaningful routines, and a peaceful, enriched environment.

It’s a privilege to help create a nurturing foundation in a child’s earliest years, and I’m excited to connect with families who are looking for not just a caregiver, but a true collaborator in their parenting journey.

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a secure, loving bond with the child while building a strong, respectful partnership with the parents. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and gently guided, and I bring a calm, consistent presence that helps support their emotional and developmental growth. For me, being a nanny means truly showing up—not just caring for a child, but nurturing their wonder, their rhythms, and their unfolding sense of self.
