Meet Niandi

With over two decades of dedicated childcare experience, my career has evolved from teaching and administration to pediatric occupational therapy services, culminating in the last 9.5 years as a full-time professional nanny. This unique blend of developmental insight, administrative oversight, and educational expertise allows me to support families with a deeply informed, holistic approach. I am a strong advocate for respectful, structured, and child-led development. In my daily practice, I focus on: * Routine & Predictability: Establishing safe, clear boundaries using positive discipline strategies like the "two-options" method, redirection, and positive reinforcement. * Respectful Communication: Engaging with children clearly and authentically, treating them as capable, respected individuals. * Developmental Milestones: Supporting critical pillars of early growth, from sensory-rich play to practices like Baby-Led Weaning (BLW). A typical day with me includes a rich mix of reading, music, outdoor exploration, and art. Above all, I believe in following a child’s unique Read more interests to foster a lifetime love for learning. For example, I once cared for a child who was fascinated by sanitation vehicles, so every garbage day, we turned our morning into an epic, neighborhood-wide "truck safari" that blended physical activity with cognitive learning! Children have a way of helping us see things we over look or in a completely different light. I bring expertise, enthusiasm, and peace of mind to the families I partner with, and I look forward to supporting yours.

Trust & safety
