More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have over 5–6 years of childcare experience, including working as a lead teacher for one-year-olds at multiple early learning centers where I managed a classroom, created routines, and supported early development. I’ve also volunteered as a little league coach and Girl Scout leader, helping build leadership and teamwork skills in children. My experience has given me strong patience, communication, and the ability to create a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids of all ages.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy doing a mix of indoor and outdoor activities with children that keep them engaged and learning. Indoors, I love arts and crafts, reading, puzzles, building activities, and creative play. I also enjoy helping with early learning like colors, numbers, and basic routines. Outdoors, I like going to parks, playing games, going on walks, and doing fun activities that keep kids active. I always try to match activities to the child’s age and interests while keeping things fun, safe, and structured.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny to me is building trust and creating a safe, loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I want kids to feel heard, cared for, and able to be themselves while also helping them learn, grow, and develop confidence. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child’s day and development is what matters most to me.
My experience with special needs children...
I have experience working with children with special needs through my time as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with autism using behavior and communication strategies. While my experience is still growing, I am patient, attentive, and comfortable following routines, behavior plans, and individualized needs. I am always open to learning and adapting to best support each child.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite moments was when a child I worked with finally said my name for the first time after weeks of building that connection. It was such a small moment, but it meant so much and showed the trust we had built. I also love the everyday little moments like silly dance parties, reading the same book over and over, and hearing kids laugh—those are the things that make this job so special to me.
