A little bit about me

With experience leading early childhood classrooms and raising my two children, both as a stay-at-home mother and a working mother, I have become skilled in fostering child development through thoughtfully planned and well-rounded activities and a nurturing classroom environment. As a mother with children in daycare, I understand the importance of a parental/caregiver relationship to proficiently support the child’s growth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have many favorite moments moments. Most have to do with things they say. The one that comes to mind: my oldest child, at around 3 yrs, was becoming increasingly frustrated with connecting 2 duplo blocks. I sat with them and explained they need to stop and take time to line them up. They paused, lefted the 2 blocks to their face and ROOOAAAARRRed! Well, they "Lioned" them up fabulously, and immediately was able to connect the blocks.
