Hi my names Kerri, and im 23 years old. I was born and raised in a small suburban town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I have childcare/nannying experience of 10+ years with amazing references one including my hometown police chief’s triplet daughters. I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology. I moved to Miami in September for a short-term position as a Child Development Specialist at U.S. Army Garrison Miami. I worked with the soldier’s children ages 6 weeks - 5 years old. I went through a thorough hiring process and strict background check with the federal government. My six months flex position recently ended, and I’m looking for a full time nannying position while I prepare for an online masters program.

grew up attending alternative schools which highlighted self directed learning: homeschooling, sudbury education, a college that didn't offer grades. This allowed me to maintain my sense of self and imbue it into my academic interests (writing, reading, theater, etc.) A foundation I still draw from today. While I was pursuing these interests in college, I started working at The Early Learning Center on campus.This introduced me to the Reggio Emilia technique, a natural fit. My time working in the infant room was enlightening, as I was introduced to the limitless nature of what childcare can be. I enjoyed cultivating that classroom through various materials, sounds, and questions for the students.A safe space where they were supported and encouraged to take risks.I believe community is everything. A space to come together in support of one another, to encourage and witness and stand in solidarity. That is my intention in all of my childcare. To be an intentional witness and stand in solidarity with the child's process.

I am a caring and enthusiastic nanny with 6+ years of experience in caring for all ages, from infants to tweens. I am passionate about creating a nurturing environment for children to learn and thrive. I believe early childhood education is foundational, which is why I incorporate educational activities into daily routines. I am artistic and enjoy making arts-and-crafts projects with the children I care for. I am also very active and outdoorsy. As an avid reader, I encourage children to develop a love for reading and teach early reading skills. I am also very health-conscious and strive to teach and model skills and habits regarding nutrition. A child's social and emotional development is a crucial area I focus on; teaching emotional intelligence, social skills, and emotional regulation is very important to me. I consider myself skilled at creating routine and structure, and I am very good at following and maintaining previously established rules, schedules, etc. With my experience caring for infants and toddlers, I am adept and knowledgeable when it comes to feedings, diaper changes, potty training, sleep, baby-led weaning, bath/night routine, and providing mental stimulation during wake windows. The childcare philosophy/approach I am most closely aligned with is gentle parenting, which prioritizes learning, growth, and self-awareness. As a hired professional, I also try to match and emulate my employer's parenting style, making modifications and asking for/receiving feedback. As a former sociology student, I like to take an evidence-based, scientific approach while, in tandem, using my bubbly, positive, and sunny disposition to bond with the kids and create fun memories. Learning, fun, and safety are my top priorities. I have excellent communication skills and believe that establishing a good parent-nanny relationship is key. Over the years, I have had great relationships and friendships with my employers and can provide many glowing letters of recommendation.
