Summary
As a dedicated nanny with a focus on infants and toddlers, I find great joy in nurturing young minds through engaging activities like storytelling, library visits, and nature walks. My background in early childhood education and psychology, paired with my hands-on experience in both classroom and family settings, allows me to create a warm and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I am dedicated to fostering a love for learning and exploration, ensuring that each child feels valued and inspired to grow.
