More About Me

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

In addition to raising my own two daughters, I worked as a paraprofessional in an elementary school, where I supported students with their academic, social, and emotional development. I also have many years of experience coaching and mentoring children, giving me a strong understanding of child development, patience, communication, and creating a safe, nurturing environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy reading books, singing, sensory play, tummy time, outdoor walks, age-appropriate crafts, creative play, and encouraging learning through everyday moments. My focus is always on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel loved, secure, and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to grow. Building trust with both the children and their parents is something I believe is earned every day through patience, reliability, and genuine care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are watching a child realize they can do something they once thought was impossible. Seeing their confidence grow, celebrating their milestones, and knowing I’ve helped them feel safe, supported, and believed in is the most rewarding part of caring for and teaching children.
