More About Me

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

With over 35 years of dedicated experience caring for children, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and maternal understanding to this nanny role. As a Special Education Teacher with ECE credits and the proud mom of two adult children, I offer a comprehensive skill set in child development, education, and compassionate care, ensuring a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I delight in sparking creativity in small children through age-appropriate crafting activities. From colorful collages with various textures to simple painting projects, building with recycled materials, or engaging in sensory play with homemade playdough, I ensure each activity is tailored to their developmental stage. These hands-on experiences not only entertain but also foster fine motor skills, imagination, and a sense of accomplishment, making every crafting session a joyous and educational adventure.

My experience with special needs children...

As a dedicated RSP (Resource Specialist Program) teacher in an elementary school setting, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment for students with diverse needs. I specialize in providing individualized and small-group instruction, tailoring strategies to meet each student's unique academic and developmental goals. My focus is on empowering students to build essential skills, gain confidence, and access the general education curriculum successfully, collaborating closely with teachers, parents, and support staff to ensure every child thrives.
