A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a reliable caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children from infants to teens. I started babysitting and volunteering at a young age and have experience with nursery, toddler, youth, and teen programs.

I’m currently the Assistant Learn-to-Skate Director at my local rink, where I teach classes and private lessons for ages 3–19. I’m CPR and American Heart Association BLS certified and am currently earning my B.S. in Psychology.

I have experience supporting children on the autism spectrum and those with anxiety, stress, or attention challenges. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and be themselves.

I also love the Montessori approach to learning. I attended a Montessori school as a child and value its focus on independence, curiosity, and hands-on exploration. I enjoy encouraging children to build confidence and follow their interests.

More About Me

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

I’ve worked with kids in a variety of roles over the years, including nannying, babysitting, being a youth leader, and volunteering in childcare programs with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work as a private skating coach, Learn-to-Skate Instructor, and Assistant Learn-to-Skate Director, teaching children ages 2 and up. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to connect with different personalities, build confidence, and make learning fun. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum and those with diverse learning, attention, and support needs. I enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and adapting my approach to help them feel comfortable, successful, and supported. My goal is always to create a safe, positive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to go on walks or play on playgrounds. I like to play sports like soccer basketball etc. When I am indoors I love to draw/color or read kid's stories.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where children feel understood, encouraged, and comfortable being themselves. Children grow best when they feel valued, so I focus on building strong, positive connections and meeting them at their individual developmental level.

It is equally important to build trust with parents. A strong relationship relies on open, consistent communication and working together as a team. I make sure parents feel informed, supported, and confident in the care their child is receiving.

When the child, parents, and caregiver all feel connected and supported, it creates the kind of environment where children can truly thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children who have special needs through both my early volunteer work and my current childcare roles. In the youth programs I volunteered with, I was often assigned to children who needed extra support, including those on the autism spectrum or who experienced anxiety, stress, or difficulty focusing.

I currently work with several children who benefit from individualized attention, and our time together varies depending on their needs each day. We’ve done homework support, visits to parks, educational board games, sensory-friendly activities, and occasional outings like trampoline parks. I focus on creating a calm, encouraging environment and adjusting activities to match their comfort level, energy, and interests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I cannot choose one favorite nanny moment because every child brings something special to the experience. Some of the moments I value most are the small but meaningful ones, like seeing a child master a new skill, watching their confidence grow, or hearing them laugh during an activity we both enjoy. I also love when a child becomes comfortable enough to share their thoughts or excitement about their day. Those everyday connections are what make this work so rewarding for me.
