I have over three years of experience working in a daycare with children ranging from infants through school age. During that time, I gained a strong understanding of daily routines, age-appropriate activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment.When COVID hit, I began nannying full time for an 8-month-old, providing one-on-one care and supporting their growth and development. I really loved the closer bond that comes with nannying and working so closely with a family.I have a college degree and currently work full time in the corporate world, but Iโm looking to transition back into nannyingโwhere my heart really is. Iโm reliable, easygoing, and very attentive, and I take pride in being someone families can trust with their children.Iโd love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive, consistent presence in your childโs day.

Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have over seven years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with. Every child is unique, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.Throughout the years, I have cared for infants by preparing bottles, changing diapers, following feeding and nap schedules, and providing attentive, nurturing care. With toddlers and older children, I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals and snacks, encouraging outdoor play, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also assist with light housekeeping related to childcare, including tidying play areas, washing bottles and dishes, and childrenโs laundry.I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and attentive, and I understand the importance of earning a familyโs trust. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, responsible hands while making each day enjoyable and engaging for the kids.
