More About Me

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

I have years of experience caring for children from newborns through teenagers, creating nurturing, structured environments that support both growth and joy. I’ve worked as a nanny and family assistant, supported school routines and household needs, and homeschooled my two sons, helping them develop confidence and independence. With a healthcare background, I bring a calm, safety-conscious presence and thoughtful attention to each child’s well-being. Families appreciate my warmth, reliability, and the genuine care I bring to supporting the whole household.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in hands-on activities that encourage independence, curiosity, and confidence. These include practical life skills such as food prep, tidying, and self-care routines; sensory play using natural materials; age-appropriate learning through books, puzzles, and educational games; and outdoor exploration through nature walks and observation. I also support creative expression through art, music, and imaginative play, while tailoring my approach to each child’s interests and developmental stage. My approach emphasizes respect, calm guidance, and allowing children the space to learn at their own pace.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel trusted, understood, and free to grow into themselves. When children feel secure and supported as individuals, they gain the confidence to explore, learn, and thrive.

My experience with special needs children...

I have hands-on experience caring for children with special needs, including supporting a child on the autism spectrum and a child with cerebral palsy. I approach each child with patience, warmth, and respect, focusing on their individual strengths, comfort, and sense of security. With a nursing background, I’m attentive to safety, routines, and developmental needs while working closely with parents and following guidance from therapy or early intervention services. My goal is always to create a calm, supportive environment where children feel understood, encouraged, and cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are watching children grow in confidence as they master something new—whether it’s taking their first steps, solving a puzzle on their own, or proudly saying, “I did it myself.” Seeing their curiosity deepen and knowing they feel safe, supported, and encouraged in those moments is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
