A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Victoria, and I am a 24-year-old childcare professional with over six years of paid experience. My roles have included being a teacher, tutor, live-in nanny, babysitter, and working in programs supporting children in challenging situations and after-school settings. I infuse creativity and adventure into my work, ensuring each child reaches developmental milestones while enjoying the learning process.

In addition to childcare, I have professional cleaning experience from high school. I can also care for pets, prepare meals, run errands, and manage household tasks. I also am willing to travel or commute. I hold a degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Family Psychology and I am currently advancing my education with ultimate goal of earning a PhD.

I want to return to nannying because it brings me joy and fulfillment, everyday is a reward. My goal is to combine my passion for childcare with my academic pursuits, growing both personally and professionally.

More About Me

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

With over six years of paid experience, I have served as a lead teacher for infant, toddler, and pre-kindergarten rooms. I have tutored children up to age 15 and worked with children in homeless shelters and those requiring extra assistance. My experience also includes after-school programs and extracurricular activities such as art, drama, music, and sports. I have been both a babysitter and a full-time live-in nanny. Most recently, I was a live-in nanny for three years, caring for two children, aged 4 years and 6 months. I supported their mother during maternity leave and continued to care for the children full-time when both parents returned to work.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I engage children in a variety of fun and educational activities to support their growth and development. I have taken them to swim lessons to build their confidence in the water and visit trampoline parks for some energetic playtime. Arts and crafts are a big part of my routine, where we do painting, coloring, sculpting clay, and DIY themed projects that spark creativity.

To support their academic growth, I incorporate learning materials similar to what they use in school, helping them with subjects like math and reading. I also explore music by learning to play instruments, which is both fun and educational. I am relearning how to play the violin and piano and would love to bring that into the children’s lives.

I can teach them sign language, which enhances their communication skills and understanding of different ways to express themselves. I enjoy going on walks, reading books together, and attending library story time sessions to foster a love for reading.

My experience with special needs children...

I have had the privilege of working with children diagnosed with autism, providing them with the extra attention and care they need. Understanding that each child is unique, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs. I create a structured and predictable environment, which helps them feel secure and reduces anxiety.

Communication is key, so I incorporate techniques like using simple, clear language and visual cues to enhance their understanding. For non-verbal children, I use tools such as pictures and sign language to facilitate communication.

Engaging in sensory activities is also important, as it helps them process sensory information more effectively. I introduce activities like sensory bins, weighted blankets, and calming exercises to help regulate their sensory input. Additionally, I focus on developing social skills by organizing small group activities and role-playing scenarios to practice interaction in a safe and supportive setting.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when I was watching the little girl who I was a live-in nanny for. We had just put down her baby brother for a nap and that was her favorite time because she got to have one-on-one time with me. She said she wanted a cheese stick and wanted to play with her legos. So as we were snacking and playing, she comes over to me, hugs me and says, “Tori you’re my bestie and I love you”. I will never forget that moment. I had watched her since she was one, about three years before her little brother was born and just knowing that I could still take time for her to feel loved and appreciated meant the world to me. I still go and see her on the weekends and have play dates with her!
