A little bit about me

Hi there!

I’m Peyton, and I’m someone who genuinely loves being the "anchor" for a busy family. I’m a unique mix of highly organized (thanks to my Master’s in Psychology!) and deeply empathetic, which means I’m just as comfortable managing a complex household schedule as I am sitting on the floor for a deep-dive craft project.

I create spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and excited to learn new things. I’m a lifelong learner myself, and I thrive in homes that value a "teamwork makes the dream work" mentality, a bit of creative problem-solving, and a lot of heart.

More About Me

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

I’ve spent years working closely with families to make daily life feel a little more magical and a lot more organized.

My favorite "career highlights" aren't just on paper—they’re the moments where I’ve helped kids reach big milestones, like teaching three different little ones how to read! I have extensive experience caring for everyone from tiny newborns and energetic 3-year-old twins to school-aged brothers whom I homeschooled for almost two years.

During my two years as a Household Manager, I took pride in being one step ahead—anticipating what the family needed before they even had to ask and planning activities that were actually enriching, not just "busy work".

Because of my background in educational psychology and motivation, I love finding those "lightbulb moments" where a child’s curiosity really takes off. I’m here to be a proactive, reliable partner who keeps the house running smoothly while making sure the kids are thriving.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My most favorite thing to do with little ones is to go outside! Whether it's a nature walk, a visit to the Zoo, a playground, or even just a turn around the neighborhood before nap - I will get your kiddos out of the house and into the real world!

I also greatly enjoy offering "invitations", a Reggio-Emilia tool that I've picked up to set up engaging, enriching activities that challenge a child's senses, dexterity, and knowledge.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the heart of this role is the ability to step into a family’s rhythm so naturally that life immediately feels more manageable for the parents and more vibrant for the children. It’s about being that intuitive, proactive presence who spots a need before it’s even voiced—whether that’s streamlining a chaotic morning schedule or turning a simple afternoon into a hands-on learning adventure. My goal is to bridge the gap between "running a household" and "raising a child" by handling the logistics with professional-grade efficiency while keeping the kids' world full of wonder and discovery. When I can create a space where parents feel completely at ease and children feel empowered to reach their next big milestone, I know I’ve done my job well.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most rewarding experiences was during the time I spent homeschooling two brothers. I had been working closely with the younger one on his literacy skills, and the 'lightbulb moment' finally happened right in front of me. He picked up a book and, for the first time, read the entire thing from cover to cover in one sitting. Seeing the look of pure, unbridled pride on his face as he closed that last page is exactly why I love what I do. It wasn't just about the lesson; it was about watching him gain the confidence to realize he could do something hard all on his own. Whether it’s reaching a milestone like that or teaching three different children to read, I live for those moments where a child’s curiosity and self-efficacy really take flight.
