Hello! Thanks for viewing my profile. I am a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, and I’m also a mom myself. Being on both sides — as a parent and as a caregiver — has given me a deep understanding of how important it is to feel your child is safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I work with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and behavior. I naturally follow a Montessori-inspired approach: encouraging independence, hands-on learning, child-led exploration, and a calm, respectful environment where little ones can thrive. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging space where kids can learn, grow, and feel confident. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always prioritize safety while also making sure each day includes activities that Read more are enriching and developmentally appropriate. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and trustworthy. I value open communication with parents and truly enjoy building lasting relationships while being a consistent and positive presence in each child’s life. Looking forward to connecting soon!
