A little bit about me

Hi future family! I have over 10 years of childcare experience and have spent the past 6 years working with wonderful families in Bethesda and Arlington, who I still stay in close contact with.

Before nannying, I was a professional ballet dancer and later ran my own ballet studio, where I discovered my love for working with children. Since then, childcare has become such a fulfilling part of my life.

I’m currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in psychology, with a goal of building a career helping others. I’m very organized, creative, and naturally nurturing, and I grew up with three siblings. So I’m very comfortable balancing both structure and the fun chaos that comes with family life.

I’m currently looking for a summer position and would love to find a great fit.

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny, to me, is building trust through strong communication with both parents and children.

Beyond safety and support, I value being someone kids can look up to, a mentor, a role model, and at times like an older sibling.

My experience with special needs children...

While I don’t have extensive formal experience working with children with special needs, I have personal experience with ADHD and an IEP. Because of this, I have a strong understanding of the importance of patience, clear communication, and individualized support.
I’m very empathetic and attentive to each child’s needs, and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to create an environment where they feel supported, understood, and able to thrive.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments is realizing you’re not just caring for kids, but becoming someone they truly trust.

Most of the time, the boys I work with are pretty independent and just want me to drop them off and “disappear” (very on-brand for preteens!). But every once in a while, they’ll ask me to stay a little longer or walk them into something new.

Recently, one of them asked me to walk him into a new basketball practice. We made a simple plan. He’d give me a thumbs up when he felt ready for me to leave. Seeing him look over, smile, and give me that signal once he felt comfortable was such a meaningful moment.

As the oldest of three, it reminded me a lot of taking care of my own siblings. Those moments where kids choose you as part of their support system mean everything to me.
