About me

I am a fun, creative, nurturing young woman who loves children. I bring with me 20 years' worth of enriching experience to the families I work for and I truly enjoy becoming 'one of the family'. There are many reasons why I am a career-nanny, but most importantly, I LOVE children and I love to play! The feeling that I've have had a positive effect on a child by helping them grow, learn, and develop their sense of self-esteem is extremely gratifying. It's truly the best feeling when a child enjoys my company as much as I enjoy theirs! I love working with parents to see to it that their children are happy, healthy, and reaching developmental milestones in the style that is right for them and reflects their family values.

I have had a long history working with children of all ages, from just a few weeks old, to 15 years of age. The prevailing wisdom of this human experience, for me, has been that empathy is really all that is needed to take care of another being. It is vital in sustaining relationships with families, and is the key to managing any situation regarding the needs of the child in front of you or the parent on the phone. I see the common thread between infants, toddlers, school-age children, pre-teens, & teens as a recurring cycle of growth and change and feel it is partly my responsibility to work with parents to make sure their child is supported during those important transitions.

In addition to providing consistency, routines, and rewards, the role of a nanny can have a lasting impact on a family as a whole and especially on a child's life. For me, nannying is about bridging the gap in between working parents and their children. It is important to me to meet the needs of those parents who find that there aren't enough hours in the day, but who want to be connected to and included in what's going on.
