Hello! My name is Molly, and I'm a career nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with over seven years of professional childcare experience caring for children from newborns through school age. I genuinely love being part of a child's growth and helping families create a calm, nurturing, and well-organized home. Throughout my career, I've cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children in a variety of households, including high-profile and ultra-high-net-worth families where professionalism, discretion, and adaptability were essential. My experience includes establishing newborn routines, supporting developmental milestones, planning engaging educational activities, assisting with homework, traveling with families, and providing thoughtful family assistant support. I'm currently completing my degree in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and allows me to bring both warmth and intention to my caregiving. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Whether we're reading books, creating art, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every day engaging and meaningful. Families describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents, maintaining open communication, and anticipating a family's needs before they're asked. My goal is always to become a reliable, long-term partner who helps make daily life run more smoothly while providing exceptional, loving care for the children.
