I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. My background includes both private childcare and working as a paraprofessional educator, which gives me a strong understanding of child development, behavior management, and creating supportive, structured environments where children can thrive.
I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers, including newborns, and I’m confident managing routines such as feeding, sleep training, and developmental play. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, including twins, and I’m comfortable balancing different needs while maintaining a calm, organized environment. I also have experience supporting children with varying developmental needs, including those with autism, and I take a patient, individualized approach to every child I work with.
I enjoy creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that support learning through play, including sensory play, early literacy, art projects, and outdoor exploration. With my background in studio art, I love incorporating creativity into daily routines to keep children stimulated and excited to learn.
Safety is always my top priority. I am First Aid certified, attentive to dietary restrictions and allergies, and experienced in maintaining clean, organized spaces. I’m also reliable with transportation, punctual, and respectful of each family’s routines, parenting style, and household expectations.
“Berni was exceptional. Our 7-year-old daughter is autistic, and Berni's background as a paraprofessional showed from the first minute — she read Scarlett's cues, handled transitions with patience, and kept her engaged, regulated, and genuinely happy all day. She followed our routine perfectly and we felt completely at ease being able to focus on work with her here. Scarlett adored her. If you're looking for someone who truly understands neurodivergent kids, Berni is the real thing. We'll absolutely book her again and recommend her without reservation.”
