A little bit about me

I have been working with kids since I was 12, first training as a mother’s helper, then becoming the neighborhood babysitter, then nannying. As a nanny I worked for homeschool families as their teacher, a caretaker for a special needs child, overnight for a nurse, and the longest nannying gig I had was 7 years. I’m still in contact with all the families I’ve worked for.

I’ve also worked as a teacher for preschool to 1st grade kids at 2 schools, and have worked after school care for all elementary ages at another school. I also have 17 years of experience teaching early levels of piano and 3 years tutoring at Kumon. I even work with kids at a local dance studio, where I take care of the front desk and manage getting kids checked in for their classes. My current full-time job is teaching Tk-1st grade at a small private Acton/Montessori school.

When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, writing, cross stitching, being with my wonderful family, and hanging out with my cat.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am trained in Acton and some Montessori play/learning activities and would be happy to implement this kind of learning during play time. My philosophy with children is that they are brilliant little problem solvers; with the right questions and prompting they can do anything they put their minds to!
I love outdoor play, baking days, library and bagel shop visits (this was a favorite of the last family I nannied for!), and lots of game play. If parents are willing to invest in new games, I have a list of ones I use in the classroom that are kid-approved and great for making learning fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating a delightful and fun environment, full of learning and growing, with lots of grace and room for mistakes, but also with clear strong boundaries and mutual respect between the nanny, the kids, and the parents.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve worked with several autistic children (including administering medication and managing a strict diet). My little brother is blind so I have experience working with visually impaired kids and have some knowledge of the tools they use daily.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I absolutely LOVE the moment when I feel like I’m part of the family, and the kids vocalize that for the first time. I’ll never forget so many moments at my 7 years nanny job where the I was invited to family vacations and was told by the 6 year old that he would pay for my ticket. 😂 Two years after I stopped nannying for that family, I was babysitting them for the evening, and I told the little girl I was moving soon…. She cried in my arms for an hour. It made me so sad but it was a true testament to the good times we shared and the bond we created.
