Hi there! I’m 25 years old with over 8 years of full-time nanny experience and 3 years as a newborn night nanny. I care for children from newborn through preteen and have extensive experience with multiples. I’m CPR-certified and bring a unique blend of childcare and medical knowledge, having started in nursing school and recently graduated with a degree in Occupational Therapy, specializing in pediatrics. Over the years, I’ve taken on a variety of responsibilities, including school pick-up/drop-off, meal prep, house management, sleep training, overnights, and traveling with families. I have worked with children who have severe food allergies, asthma, are on the autism spectrum, and more—always staying informed on the latest childcare and learning methods to ensure safety and growth. I pride myself on being patient, punctual, flexible, reliable, and understanding. I believe every child is wonderfully unique, and my goal is to help them thrive—reaching their milestones, building Read more their confidence, and supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves. What I love most about working with families is forming close relationships where we can work as a team to help raise their children! I look forward to open and honest communication when it comes to raising children and what they most value as a family. Adjusting to the family dynamic and having a bond is very important to me! I have really loved working with children for as long as I can remember because every day is different and no child is the same ! Each day comes with new opportunities where I can educate, help, and most importantly have fun with any little one that comes my way!
