A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Payton.

I’m a former 4th grade teacher and current master’s student in elementary education, offering full-time nanny and tutoring services for rising 3rd and 4th graders. My $65/hr rate reflects this combined role—your child receives nurturing care and academic support in reading, writing, and math from an experienced educator.

I don’t just help with homework—I use research-based strategies and real classroom experience to support growth. I begin with a brief academic assessment to identify strengths and gaps, then design personalized mini-lessons, skill-building games, and progress checks aligned to state standards. My goal is to help your child enter the next school year confident, prepared, and ahead of grade-level expectations.
I also offer emotional support, prepare lunch, and can drive your child to parks or local outings.

If you’re looking for a nurturing nanny equipped with a teacher’s toolkit providing a summer both enriching and fun, I’d love to connect with you!

4th grade teacher in Newark, New Jersey

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning fun and enriching outings like trips to local parks, children’s museums, and nearby theme parks. Indoors, I enjoy doing arts and crafts projects, watching movies, playing board games, and incorporating academic games that build skills in a playful way. I’m all about creating joyful, balanced days filled with learning, creativity, and meaningful connection.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is helping children grow into confident, self-assured individuals who believe in themselves. I love watching a child go from hesitating to try something new to challenging themselves with courage and determination. I believe in nurturing not only their academic growth, but also their social and emotional development. Teaching children to use their voice, express their needs, and advocate for themselves is a value I hold deeply—because when a child learns how to communicate what they need, they are empowered to thrive in every area of life. I deem this especially valuable because it benefits all children—those with special needs and those without. Pouring into a child’s social and emotional growth instills lifelong attributes that serve as a strong foundation well beyond childhood.

My experience with special needs children...

As a former classroom teacher, I’ve worked with children who had IEPs and 504 plans, supporting a range of learning needs including ADHD, processing disorders, and social-emotional challenges. My master’s program in elementary education has further equipped me with research-based strategies for effectively communicating with and teaching children with diverse needs. I’m experienced in providing accommodations, using differentiated instruction, and creating a calm, supportive environment that helps each child thrive both academically and emotionally.
