More About Me

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

With a strong professional foundation in early childhood education and pedagogy, my teaching career is built on a deep understanding of developmental milestones and tailored instructional design. Having served as a classroom school teacher, I honed the ability to design engaging, structured learning environments that foster curiosity, confidence, and academic growth. Today, I seamlessly channel that classroom expertise into my work as a dedicated educator and professional nanny, blending formal pedagogical strategies with individualized care to support every child's unique learning journey

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Diving into books together to foster a love for reading from an early age, complete with fun character voices and follow-up questions to see what they think.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The best part about being a nanny is finding the perfect balance between structured growth and the pure, unstructured joy of childhood. It is in the way the daily routine, from coordinating busy schedules, school pickups, and activities like swimming, piano, and gymnastics,gradually transforms into a rhythm of trust and independence. There is an immense sense of pride in watching them take the initiative with their morning chores, seeing a young kid develop her own organizational skills, and knowing you are helping to guide them toward becoming confident, capable individuals.

My experience with special needs children...

During my time teaching in schools, I worked with a wide range of students, including those with special educational needs. I focused on creating an inclusive classroom where every child could learn at their own pace. This experience helped me develop strong skills in patience, adaptive teaching, and providing individualized support for children with diverse learning requirements.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I was having such a wonderful, deep conversation with one of the girl I care for that I completely lost my train of thought. Instead of grabby the sunscreen, I squeezed toothpaste right onto her leg! We both realized it the exact same second and just burst out laughing. It’s easily one of the funniest, sweetest mistakes I've ever made, turns out, great conversations have a way of keeping us on our toes (and extra minty fresh)!
