Being a nanny, especially one who works with infants, is a privilege that I do not take lightly and I appreciate the chance to support families during this big change. Across my almost 10-year career, I have worked full-time in a daycare center and six private homes, primarily with newborns and toddlers. I find joy in creating spaces that engage my little ones, planning activities that incorporate all areas of children's development, and seeing the outcomes of those efforts. Outside of the traditional nanny role, I received my birth and post-partum certifications from DONA International in 2021. Since then, I have attended two births and continue to volunteer assisting families in need of support. In 2023 I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training via Newborn Care Solutions to deepen my understanding of newborns, especially those born prematurely and with additional medical needs
