About me
I’m calm under pressure, well-organized, and dedicated to providing a nurturing and restful environment for both babies and their families. I’m comfortable with overnight hours and understand the importance of maintaining feeding, sleep, and soothing routines. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their little one is in safe, capable hands throughout the night. I would love the opportunity to support a family as a night nanny, offering my care, experience, and reliability during this special time.

Service introduction
With both professional and personal experience in caring for children, I believe I would be an excellent fit for this role. As a mother to two boys, ages 4 and 5—one of whom has autism—I have gained invaluable hands-on experience in nurturing, patience, and understanding of children’s unique needs. These skills, combined with my professional background in childcare, make me especially equipped to provide attentive, compassionate care for newborns. Having owned and operated an in-home daycare, I developed skills in preparing meals, creating structured daily schedules, and fostering a safe and loving environment for young children. My time as an assistant teacher at The Goddard School reinforced my ability to meet diverse developmental needs, nurture emotional growth, and provide individualized care. Additionally, my professional experience in hospitality has strengthened my communication skills and my ability to stay calm and organized under pressure—qualities that are essential when providing overnight care. My adaptability and problem-solving abilities ensure that I am prepared for the unpredictability that comes with newborn care. I am truly passionate about creating a peaceful, nurturing environment where both baby and family can rest easy. I would love the opportunity to contribute my unique blend of professional skills and personal experience to your family. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family during this special time.
