More About Me

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

Currently I am a young toddler (16 months - 2 years) teacher at a high end Reggio Emilia preschool. I have taught infants through threes. I found my love for early childhood education as a teenager teaching toddler sports classes.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting outdoors, exploring nature and enjoying some fresh air. I also really enjoy making sentimental crafts that capture their sweet childhood. Reading books with silly voices and songs is another favorite.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I truly love children and when given the opportunity to care for someone else's child I want them to feel completely safe and confident leaving their most precious family member in my care.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children on the spectrum as well as children with special medical needs. I have cared for an infant on oxygen. Personally I have a child with severe asthma, and another with ADHD and SPD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I LOVE when babies learn how to wave and they wave backwards toward themselves. It is too cute.
