The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is building trust—both with the child and the family. Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and understood, and that only happens when trust is at the center of everything.
It’s not just about showing up on time or checking off tasks—it’s about being fully present, respecting the family’s values, and creating a consistent environment where children can explore, grow, and be themselves.
For me, being a nanny means holding space for the little things that shape a child’s day—and showing up with patience, care, and integrity, every single time.

My experience with special needs children...
My experience with special needs children includes providing consistent, individualized care for children with a range of developmental and behavioral needs. I’ve supported nonverbal toddlers, children on the autism spectrum, and those navigating sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or ADHD.
In these roles, I focus on creating predictable routines, using clear and gentle communication, and adapting activities to meet each child where they are. I’ve collaborated closely with parents, therapists, and educators to support behavior plans, reinforce progress, and celebrate small wins.
I approach every child with patience, respect, and genuine curiosity—always working to create a space where they feel understood, capable, and safe.

The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moment was when a toddler I’d been caring for finally said my name for the first time after weeks of nonverbal communication. It was a small word, but it felt like a breakthrough—proof that trust had been built, and that our bond was something meaningful.
Moments like that remind me that caregiving is more than routines and schedules—it’s about connection, presence, and helping children feel safe enough to grow in their own time. That’s the heart of the work for me.
