With nine years of professional childcare experience and my Newborn Care Specialist certification, I bring both hands-on experience and specialized newborn training to the families I support. Caring for children has been my passion since I began working part-time in a daycare during high school, and that passion has grown into a fulfilling career as a dedicated nanny and infant care professional. I have experience working with children from newborn through school-age in daycare, YMCA, and private in-home settings. However, supporting families during the newborn and infant stage is especially meaningful to me. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, I am trained in newborn development, sleep conditioning, feeding support (breast and bottle), establishing healthy routines, soothing techniques, and maintaining a safe sleep environment. I understand how important those early weeks and months are, and I strive to provide calm, knowledgeable, and nurturing support to both baby and parents. In my nanny roles, I take on all childcare-related responsibilities including bottle prep, diapering, sleep scheduling, developmental play, tummy time, milestone tracking, baby laundry, sanitizing, and maintaining a structured yet loving environment. As children grow, I incorporate educational activities, creative play, outdoor exploration, and transportation to scheduled activities. My goal is always to encourage imagination and development while helping children confidently reach their milestones. Beyond experience and credentials, I value forming strong, respectful bonds with families. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and flexible available for travel, overnights, late stays, and date nights. I have my own vehicle, can provide a car seat if needed, and I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I understand that choosing someone to care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. I am committed to listening carefully to your concerns, respecting your parenting style, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and loved every day in my care. I would be honored to support your family during this special season of growth and development.
