A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Wendy, a dedicated childcare professional based in Orange County with a deep love for supporting families. As a certified newborn care specialist and infant sleep specialist—and a mom of 10 grown children—I bring both hands-on experience and expert-level knowledge to the families I work with. I’m known for being dependable, calm, and nurturing, and I specialize in helping little ones thrive through structure, sleep support, and gentle routines.

Whether I’m caring for a newborn, toddler, or supporting a busy household, I show up with compassion, flexibility, and a genuine heart for what I do. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have excellent references, and take pride in creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment that supports each child’s unique development.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part is being a steady, loving presence that families can fully trust. I see my role as both a caregiver and a support system—someone who helps children thrive and gives parents peace of mind.

My experience with special needs children...

I have supported children with a variety of needs, including sensory processing challenges and developmental delays. My approach is calm, patient, and adaptable—always working closely with parents to ensure consistency and care that aligns with the child’s needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was helping a toddler overcome nap resistance by creating a cozy routine he grew to love. The first time he asked to go “night night” all on his own was such a proud and sweet win!
