As a dedicated and nurturing nanny, my responsibilities included establishing safe, age-appropriate routines tailored to each child’s developmental stage. I managed daily tasks such as feeding, diaper changes, and sleep schedules for the newborn, while also engaging the toddler in educational play, outdoor activities, and social interactions to promote his cognitive and motor skills.

I implemented gentle sleep training methods, created stimulating sensory activities, and introduced basic learning concepts for the toddler. My experience includes managing challenging behaviors, establishing consistent discipline strategies, and fostering a warm, secure environment that encouraged the children’s growth and well-being. I also maintained open communication with parents to provide updates on developmental milestones and address any concerns, ensuring a partnership that supported the entire family’s needs.
