Summary
Dedicated career nanny with nearly a decade of experience providing high-quality, professional childcare and household support. I specialize in fostering secure attachments by creating safe, consistent, and nurturing environments that allow children to thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively. Families value my blend of warmth and professionalism, as well as the clarity I bring through best-practice standards such as payroll employment, guaranteed hours, PTO/sick time, and fair overtime compensation. I am committed to partnering with parents to ensure children feel seen, supported, and empowered while also maintaining transparent, reliable, and sustainable working relationships with families.
