A little bit about me

FOR BABYSITTING: I'm happy to plan a themed evening such as cooking/baking, costumes or face painting, learning or art-based activities, etc.
FOR NANNYING: I'm a local part-time private nanny to neighboring families. My specialty is newborn/postpartum care, with a focus on safety and helping families with routine. I have current first aid/CPR training, background clearances and 10+ certifications regarding all areas of child development. I was raised in Washington DC, and attended private school. Safety and confidentiality are pillars to my service. I am a "RIE Educarer" with infants and lean on "Reggio Emilia" pedagogy with older children. Both frameworks believe children are born active in the learning process by communicating 100 different ways and our job as caregivers is to observe, encourage participation and personal development. I bring my 24-month-old daughter with me (she's very easy going with her own comforts). I'd love to schedule a Meet and Greet!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

We love imagination play outside! I'm always creating games and asking questions on-the-go, making special moments out of the ordinary.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being dependable is the most important aspect. You can't be a great nanny if you're not there!

My experience with special needs children...

I have an autistic step-son who is pre-verbal (learning AAC), an adult sister who is cognitively disabled and have enjoyed many years in group childcare environments with an array of individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are the ones of connection when I truly understand their needs and comforts. Usually around nap and mealtimes we develop special routines so that each child feels cared for in the way they wish.
