More About Me

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

My most meaningful childcare experience was with one family, caring for two children over the course of several years. I started caring for their daughter when she was just 3 months old and continued until she was around 5, while also caring for her older brother from age 7 to 12. I began working with the family when I was 17 and continued into my early twenties. Over the years, I became incredibly close with both children and their family. They became a very special part of my life, and even though I’m no longer their everyday caregiver, I still see them and remain involved in their lives today. Building those lasting relationships has been one of the most rewarding parts of my childcare experience and something I truly value!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m a very creative person, so I’m always coming up with new ideas and brainstorming fun things to do with kids! I love everything from simple arts and crafts, baking, reading, music, and imaginative play to outdoor adventures, nature walks, beach days, playgrounds, and exploring new places. I would love to create meaningful, memorable experiences with the children I care for, whether that’s through a planned activity or something as simple as an afternoon outside. I also think it’s important for children to experience the world around them, learn through everyday experiences, socialize, interact with others, build confidence, and develop important life skills. I love the idea of making everyday moments opportunities to learn, grow, and have fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part of being a nanny is understanding that you're not just there to watch children; you're becoming part of their everyday world during the most important years of their lives. I think children deserve someone who is patient, present, dependable, and genuinely interested in who they are as little people. It's important to me that children feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, exploring, making mistakes, and learning about the world. I want to encourage their creativity, independence, and confidence, while also making sure they feel safe, heard, and loved. I also think it's important to create a balance between having fun and teaching everyday life skills, experiencing new things, spending time outdoors, and learning how to interact with others. More than anything, I want the children I care for to look back on their childhood and remember having someone who showed up for them, made ordinary days special, and genuinely cared about them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Honestly, I don’t think I could ever pick just one favorite nanny moment. I have so many beautiful, funny, and heartwarming memories from the years I spent caring for the two children I grew so close to, especially the little girl. Throughout those years, I could always count on going home with a new story to laugh about, a sweet little moment to remember, or sometimes even happy tears. Some of my favorite memories are the little everyday moments that probably seemed insignificant at the time but have stayed with me over the years. I’ve been trying to answer this question for 45 minutes because every time I think of one memory, five more come to mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of their childhood, and even luckier that I still get to watch them grow up today.
