I'm an experienced care partner, nanny, and lead teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience supporting children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal in any home or classroom is to create a calm, creative, and nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. For the past five years, I've worked professionally in Early Learning Centers as both a Lead Pre-K Teacher and Assistant Director, with experience utilizing play-based learning techniques and implementing Reggio Emilia, High Scope, and GSRP curriculum models. For little learners I prioritize hands-on learning, sensory play, music, dramatic play, outdoor exploration, and early literacy development. One of my greatest strengths is supporting social-emotional growth and helping children navigate big feelings with patience, consistency, and compassion. I believe children thrive when they feel heard, respected, and emotionally secure. In addition to my classroom experience, I have extensive nannying and caregiving experience in Read more private homes. I've supported families with everything from daily routines and meal preparation to school drop-offs, transportation, homework help, bedtime routines, and activity planning. Families I work with often describe me as dependable, warm, organized, and adaptable. I understand the importance of consistency and routine while also bringing creativity and fun into everyday moments. Whether we're building literacy skills through story time, getting messy with sensory bins and crafts, exploring outdoors, or simply creating a peaceful and structured environment after a long school day, I aim to support not just the children in my care, but the entire family. My professional background has also strengthened my communication and organizational skills. As an Assistant Director in a childcare center, I managed scheduling, family communication, student records, staff support, and daily operations while maintaining high standards for safety and care. This experience helped me become highly detail-oriented, proactive, and confident in handling busy environments with professionalism and flexibility. I love what I do! I strive to build trusting relationships with children, support their development, and become a dependable, positive presence in their lives. I would love the opportunity to support a family looking for a caring, experienced, and reliable extra hand. My references are readily available, upon request.
