Hello Parents, I have completed 12 units in Early Childhood Education and bring both professional experience and genuine passion to my work with children. Growing up in a large family, I began caring for my nieces and nephews at a young age, which inspired my career in childcare. I later gained more hands on experience working at a preschool for several years and have continued to nanny for families, including my own, with children ranging from infants to school age. If selected, I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) and providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for them to thrive.

Serena has occasionally helped babysit my 3-year-old son, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. She is patient, caring, and very interactive—always engaging him through play and conversation. I especially appreciate how she naturally incorporates language learning into their time together, helping him expand his vocabulary while having fun. Serena is also very flexible and understanding—there were a few evenings when we had to return an hour later than planned, and she handled it calmly and kindly. My son enjoys spending time with her, and I always feel at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!
