Greetings, Parents! After graduating from high school, I began my career as a professional nanny, caring for children in two families. My first nanny position involved caring for a five year old girl named Shana, who had cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair. Because of her individual needs, I received specialized training and developed a strong understanding of patience, attentiveness, safety, and personalized care. For Shana’s sixth birthday, I even dressed as a clown to help make her celebration special. She was not always comfortable around unfamiliar people, so I wanted to create a fun experience that would bring a smile to her face. My second nanny position began when T.J. was five months old. Later, the family welcomed a baby girl named Alissa, and I had the privilege of caring for her beginning when she was only two days old. During my employment, I also relocated with the family to St. Louis, Missouri. This position gave me professional and extensive hands on experience with infant care, feeding, comforting, developmental stages, daily routines, and maintaining a safe, organized home environment. After working as a nanny for several years, I moved into a management position in the banquet industry. I later became a mother myself. Throughout my professional career, I have also worked in customer service for the State of Connecticut and for a private utility company. These positions strengthened my communication, organization, problem solving, and customer service skills. My years as a professional nanny taught me so much about childcare, household routines, responsibility, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. When I became a parent, I felt confident and well prepared because of the experience I had gained caring for children through many stages of development. I am certified in CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. For additional peace of mind, I have also completed an extensive background check and can provide verification to prospective families upon request. Today, I bring patience, care, organization, professionalism, and a genuine love for children into every family’s home. I especially enjoy creating fun and meaningful experiences through cooking, scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, and other hands on activities that encourage learning through play and help children create lasting memories.
