More About Me

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

I have 5+ years of childcare experience through babysitting, nanny and household support roles, along with more recent professional experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I have cared for children ranging from infants and toddlers through school-age children and teens, adapting my approach to each child’s age, personality and individual needs.

My experience includes supervising and engaging children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with routines, activities and play, providing transportation when needed, and assisting with light household tasks related to the children. My RBT experience has further strengthened my skills in patience, communication, positive reinforcement, safety awareness and supporting children with developmental and behavioral needs.

I am also BLS/CPR certified and bring a patient, nurturing, dependable and attentive approach to every family I work with.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy finding activities that match each child’s age, personality and interests. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, visiting parks and playgrounds, exploring nature, gardening, and encouraging active play. Indoors, I enjoy arts and crafts, drawing, music, imaginative play, games, puzzles, reading together and age-appropriate learning activities.

I also love cooking and enjoy involving children in simple, safe kitchen activities when appropriate, such as helping prepare snacks, measuring ingredients or choosing foods for a meal. I think everyday activities can be great opportunities for children to learn, build confidence and have fun.

Most importantly, I enjoy getting to know each child as an individual. Whether they are energetic and adventurous or prefer quieter activities, I’m happy to follow their interests while providing a positive, encouraging and engaging environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing and dependable environment where a child feels genuinely cared for and understood. Every child has a unique personality, different needs and their own way of communicating, learning and experiencing the world. Taking the time to understand the individual child is incredibly important to me.

Being a nanny also means earning the trust of the parents. Families are entrusting you with someone who means everything to them, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe in being reliable, attentive, patient and respectful of each family’s routines, values and parenting preferences.

Beyond keeping children safe and meeting their daily needs, I want the time we spend together to be positive and meaningful. Whether we are learning, playing, reading, cooking or simply talking, I want each child to feel supported, encouraged and valued for exactly who they are.

My experience with special needs children...

As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have professional experience supporting children and teens with autism and other developmental and behavioral needs. My RBT work has taken place across multiple settings, including in-home, clinical and school environments, which has given me experience adapting to different children, routines and surroundings.

I have worked one-on-one with children with varying communication abilities and support needs. My experience includes following individualized treatment plans, encouraging communication and independence, using positive reinforcement, supporting transitions and daily routines, and helping children participate in age-appropriate activities.

I understand the importance of patience, consistency, safety and meeting each child where they are. I bring a calm, compassionate and respectful approach and focus on getting to know each child as an individual, including their strengths, preferences and unique ways of communicating.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Some of my favorite moments are seeing a child make progress in ways that are meaningful to them. I’ve watched children begin making more eye contact, using new words and phrases, trying new activities, and replacing challenging behaviors with more positive ways of communicating and expressing their needs.

One especially sweet memory was with a child who usually wanted to read only one or two pages at a time. One day, they surprised me by continuing page after page through an unusually long children’s book. They became animated while reading, adding sound effects and laughter where the story called for it. Seeing their excitement and initiative made such a simple activity incredibly memorable.

Every child is so different, which is what makes this work special to me. Progress and meaningful moments look different for every child, and I love discovering and celebrating what makes each one unique.
