More About Me

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

Providing full-time care for a family with three children under the age of 7, where I managed school drop-offs, planned enriching indoor and outdoor activities, and helped with meal prep and bedtime routines. I’ve also supported families with infants—handling bottle feeding, sleep schedules, and developmental play. In addition, I’ve cared for children with ASD and ADHD, working closely with parents and therapists to reinforce positive behaviors and support emotional regulation. These experiences have strengthened my patience, adaptability, and deep love for childcare.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities that help kids learn and explore! Some of my favorites include sensory play, arts and crafts, storytime, nature walks, building forts, cooking simple recipes together, and imaginative games like dress-up or pretend play. I also enjoy creating quiet moments with puzzles, music, or mindfulness exercises to help kids unwind. Whether it’s encouraging creativity or building life skills, I aim to make every day feel like an adventure.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is building trust—both with the child and the family. Kids thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported, and that starts with showing up consistently with love, patience, and respect. Being a nanny isn’t just about supervision—it’s about nurturing emotional growth, encouraging independence, and being a steady presence during the big and small moments of a child’s day. I take that responsibility seriously and feel honored to play a part in helping children feel confident, curious, and cared for.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve had the privilege of working with children diagnosed with ASD and ADHD, and I approach each child with patience, empathy, and consistency. I understand the importance of structure, sensory awareness, and communication techniques tailored to each child’s unique needs. I’ve partnered with parents and therapists to reinforce routines, behavioral strategies, and emotional regulation tools in both home and public settings. My goal is always to create a calm, supportive environment where every child feels safe, understood, and celebrated for who they are.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was helping a toddler I cared for say their first full sentence. We had been working on simple words during our daily routines, and one morning during breakfast, they looked up and clearly said, “I want more banana, please.” It was such a small thing, but the joy and pride on their face—and the happy tears from their mom—reminded me just how meaningful this work is. Moments like that make me feel honored to be part of a child’s growth and a family’s everyday life.
