As a nanny, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing, enriching, and adventurous environment where toddlers feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn. I emphasize play-based learning as a foundation for early childhood development, using engaging activities like songs, arts and crafts, sensory play, and outdoor exploration to foster curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving. To deepen my approach, I have independently studied the Montessori method, which emphasizes hands-on learning, independence, and respect for a child’s natural development. I integrate these principles into my work by setting up activities that encourage toddlers to explore and learn at their own pace, such as sensory sorting tasks or practical life activities like pouring and organizing. These help build fine motor skills, concentration, and confidence in a self-directed way. Adventure has always been an important part of my childcare philosophy, but safety is my top priority. I have extensive experience working with children in water Read more environments, including snorkeling, diving, and surfing. Whether teaching water safety or leading lessons, I ensure children are protected at all times while also making room for fun and exploration. This balance of vigilance and adventure allows children to build confidence and enjoy new experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Parents often describe me as dependable, creative, and calm under pressure. Children see me as a warm, fun presence they can trust. I am also attentive to health and nutrition, preparing balanced meals and snacks that are both nourishing and appealing to toddlers. My goal is always to provide holistic support for a child’s development—physically, socially, and emotionally. By blending play-based learning, Montessori-inspired activities, and safe yet adventurous experiences, I help children explore the world, build confidence, and thrive in every sense.

Trust & safety
