Relevant experience where I also cared for children…

In addition to my extensive background in childcare with children age 6 months - 13 years, I bring a unique blend of experiences that reflect my dedication to the well-being and development of children. My journey includes not only years of babysitting and nannying but also a significant role as a nursing student on a newborn floor at the hospital, allowing me to interact closely with and provide comprehensive care for newborns. Furthermore, my role as an Early Childhood Education Assistant (ECEA) in Montessori and daycare settings, encompassing children aged 12 months to 12 years, has honed my versatility and expertise in fostering holistic growth. Additionally, my contributions as a kindergarten class helper in an elementary school and my leadership role in an after-school daycare program catering to students from kindergarten to eighth grade showcase my adaptability and leadership in diverse educational environments.

Activities I enjoy doing with children…

While my passions lie in arts and crafts, reading, baking, and outdoor activities, I take great joy in curating engaging experiences tailored to your child's specific interests, whether it's exploring the world of dinosaurs, indulging in princess adventures, or embarking on exciting Paw Patrol missions. My adaptability and creativity ensure that every moment we spend together is not only enjoyable for your child but also an enriching and memorable experience, I’ve even found myself somehow enjoying playing “army” haha!

The most important part about being a nanny…

The most crucial part of being a nanny, and where the fun truly begins, is creating an environment where children can explore, learn, and enjoy themselves while knowing they are safe and well-cared for. It's about being the "adventure architect" who plans exciting activities, encourages creativity, and shares in the joy of discovery with kids. But, let's not forget the responsible side of the fun – ensuring they're fed, well-rested, and that we uphold routines that keep them thriving. Building trust and open communication is key, so parents can relax, knowing their little ones are in good hands, and kids can have the time of their lives!

My favorite nanny moment…

One of my most cherished nanny moments is when I had the incredible opportunity to spend several months overseas, providing care and guidance to children in the most enchanting settings.

I had the privilege of nurturing a deep connection with a bright 7-year-old boy in a picturesque beach town in Italy. We shared countless adventures, from building sandcastles on the shores of the Adriatic to exploring the rich history and culture of the region and of course having as much fun as we could possibly have!

Moreover, I also had the pleasure of being a nurturing presence for two delightful young girls in the idyllic setting of the South of France. Our days in the small hamlet of 100 were filled with laughter, exploration, and the joy of discovering the natural beauty and cultural treasures of this enchanting locale.

I think about these times often and these experiences have left an indelible mark on my heart, and I am eager to bring the same enthusiasm and care to your children's lives!
