A little bit about me

With over 20 years of professional childcare experience, I have cared for children from infancy through the teen years, including newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, multiples, and children with varying developmental needs. I create safe, structured, and engaging environments where children feel secure and supported.

My approach is warm, patient, and consistent, with a focus on fostering independence, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate development through play and routine. In addition to my nanny experience, I have a background in preschool education and am a mother of three, bringing both professional and real-life insight.

I am TrustLine registered, BLS/CPR certified, DOJ background checked, reliable, and committed to building long-term relationships with families.

More About Me

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

In addition to my nanny roles, I have experience working in a preschool setting where I supported early childhood development through structured activities and play-based learning. I have provided long-term care for multiple families, including newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children, as well as multiples and children with varying developmental needs. I am experienced in establishing routines, supporting sleep and feeding schedules, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. As a mother of three, I bring hands-on parenting experience and a strong understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs at every stage.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in a variety of age-appropriate, enriching activities that support their development and creativity. This includes reading, music, arts and crafts, sensory play, outdoor play, and imaginative games. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments through conversation, storytelling, and hands-on experiences. I also enjoy creating simple routines that include structured play, quiet time, and opportunities for independence. Whether we’re exploring outside, doing a craft, or reading together, I focus on creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel confident, supported, and excited to learn.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing about being a nanny is creating a genuine, trusting bond with the children in my care. I want them to feel safe, loved, and truly seen every day. Children thrive when they feel secure and understood, and I take pride in being a calm, consistent, and supportive presence in their lives. I also believe in building a strong partnership with parents, based on trust, communication, and shared goals for their child. Being a nanny is more than a job to me…it’s about making a meaningful impact, providing stability, and caring for each child as if they were my own.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with kids who have cerebral palsy, ASD, sensory processing disorder, etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was when a toddler I cared for couldn’t say “Sara” and started calling me “Ra Ra.” It ended up sticking, and now the entire family calls me Rara. It started as something small, but it turned into one of those little moments that makes this job so special.
