More About Me

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

I have experience in both nursing and teaching, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, emotional care, and safety. I’ve also raised my own daughter, which has added real-life, hands-on nurturing that goes beyond formal training. This combination has allowed me to care for children with empathy, structure, and a calm, attentive presence.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging children in both fun and educational activities.

Indoors, I enjoy reading books, building puzzles, doing arts and crafts, and playing interactive games that support learning and creativity.

Outdoors, I like going for walks, playing tag, visiting parks, riding bikes, and organizing fun nature scavenger hunts.

I’m always focused on making sure activities are age-appropriate, safe, and enjoyable while helping children learn, grow, and express themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I believe in being someone kids can trust and feel comfortable with, while also supporting the parents’ goals and routines. Watching a child grow, learn, and gain confidence — and knowing I played a role in that — is truly the most rewarding part of the job.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and sensory processing challenges. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and responsive to their unique needs, while creating a calm and structured environment. I focus on building trust, using positive reinforcement, and offering activities that are both engaging and developmentally appropriate. I also maintain open communication with parents to ensure consistency and support.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was when a 4-year-old I cared for surprised me by making me a “thank-you card” out of construction paper after we spent the afternoon doing crafts and building a blanket fort. She told me I was her “best friend for life.” It was such a sweet reminder of how impactful those small, everyday moments can be when you’re helping children feel safe, loved, and creative.

Savannah M. - Seeking Work in Marshallton

Part-Time Nanny Available in Marshallton, DE: Savannah M.

Hello! My name is Savannah but most people call me Van (less syllables to remember for the little ones!). I began looking after children in 2018 as a lifeguard and swim instructor at neighborhood pools such as Northstar and Sommerset. From here I began babysitting for children in those neighborhoods who I usually taught and even worked briefly in their daycares. Additionally I get a lot of my experience from my brother who is on the spectrum.
Currently I am working at a Boxlunch and love all things nerdy. I love talking, watching, and singing Disney, and many other kid friendly shows! I am also a crafter at heart and would love to bring crafts with me to play with!
For additional context on me outside of childcare I am currently studying cybersecurity at George Mason and am going into my sophomore year, but am currently enjoying a summer back at home. :)
