Nannying
Every child deserves care that nurtures their unique personality and developmental needs. My nannying approach centers on building genuine connections while fostering growth through intentional play, learning opportunities, and consistent emotional support.
I create structured yet flexible routines that provide security while allowing room for spontaneity and discovery. From engaging in sensory play with infants to guiding toddlers through creative projects and early learning activities, I meet each child where they are developmentally and help them flourish.
My services include age-appropriate activity planning, developmental milestone support, positive discipline techniques, outdoor exploration, creative play, and maintaining consistent routines for meals, naps, and activities. I also provide detailed daily communication so you stay connected to your child's day, milestones, and special moments.
Whether you need full-time care, part-time support, or occasional date night coverage, I bring the same level of dedication, warmth, and professionalism to every interaction with your child.
With experience caring for children from birth through 18 years old, I've found my greatest passion lies in working with infants and toddlers aged 0-4. These early years captivate me because I get to witness and actively support the incredible brain development happening during this critical window. Science tells us that the first three years of life are the most important in a child's development—when neural pathways are forming at an astounding rate and the foundation for all future learning is being built. Being part of that process and helping nurture those crucial early connections is both a privilege and a responsibility I take seriously.
Night support / Sleep Training
Restful sleep transforms families. When everyone sleeps well, parents are more patient, children are happier, and the whole household runs more smoothly. I specialize in creating sustainable sleep solutions that honor your family's values and your child's temperament.
My gentle approach to sleep training focuses on building healthy sleep associations and routines rather than simply leaving babies to cry. I work with families to develop personalized sleep plans that consider your child's age, developmental stage, feeding schedule, and family preferences. Every baby is different, and what works for one family may not work for another—that's why I take time to understand your specific situation and goals before creating a tailored approach.
For families needing overnight support, I provide professional newborn and infant care that allows parents to rest while ensuring babies receive attentive, experienced care throughout the night. I handle feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and monitoring so you can sleep peacefully knowing your little one is in capable hands. This support is invaluable during those exhausting early weeks and months when sleep deprivation can impact every aspect of family life.
My sleep training philosophy recognizes that good sleep habits are learned skills that can be taught with patience, consistency, and understanding. I help babies develop the ability to self-soothe and sleep independently while maintaining secure attachment with their parents. The process requires dedication and consistency, but the results (peaceful nights and well-rested families) are transformative.
Services include comprehensive sleep assessments and personalized plan development, hands-on overnight newborn and infant care, gentle sleep training implementation with ongoing support, assistance navigating sleep regressions and developmental disruptions, support for transitioning from co-sleeping to independent sleep, establishing healthy bedtime routines that signal sleep time, and follow-up consultations to ensure lasting success and address any challenges.
I understand that sleep concerns can feel overwhelming, especially for new parents who are already exhausted. My role is to provide both the practical support you need in the moment and the education and tools to help your family maintain healthy sleep patterns long-term. Whether you're dealing with a newborn who has days and nights confused, a toddler who's suddenly refusing bedtime, or simply want to establish good sleep foundations from the start, I'm here to guide you through the process with patience, expertise, and compassion.
Household Management
A well-organized home creates space for what truly matters—quality time with your family. I understand that caring for children generates a constant flow of tasks, from endless laundry loads to keeping play areas organized, and I'm here to help manage it all so you can focus on being present with your children rather than constantly managing logistics.
My household management services extend beyond basic organization to encompass the many moving pieces that keep family life running smoothly. I take pride in anticipating needs, staying two steps ahead of the daily chaos, and handling details with care and attention. Think of me as your family's dedicated support system—someone who genuinely understands the unique demands of family life and works proactively to lighten your load.
I handle grocery shopping with attention to your family's preferences, dietary needs, and budget considerations, ensuring your pantry and refrigerator are always stocked with healthy options. Meal planning and preparation focus on nutritious, kid-friendly meals that please the whole family while accommodating busy schedules. I understand the challenge of feeding growing children and can help establish mealtime routines that reduce stress for everyone.
Beyond meals, I coordinate the countless details that keep families organized: managing school pickups and drop-offs, organizing and coordinating playdates and activities, maintaining children's clothing and toy organization, handling light housekeeping in common areas and children's spaces, assisting with family calendar management and appointment coordination, and managing the flow of paperwork, permission slips, and school communications that seem to multiply daily.
I also focus on creating and maintaining organized, safe play environments where children can explore and learn freely. This includes rotating toys to maintain interest, organizing craft supplies and books for easy access, and ensuring play spaces remain functional and inviting rather than overwhelming.
What sets my household management apart is my understanding that every family operates differently. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, and priorities, then develop systems that work specifically for your household. Whether you need help establishing new organizational systems or maintaining existing ones, I adapt my approach to support your family's unique rhythm and needs.
My goal is to create calm, organized environments where families can focus on connection rather than constantly managing the details of daily life. When the practical elements of your household run smoothly, you have more energy and mental space for the moments that matter most—reading bedtime stories, having conversations over dinner, and simply enjoying your children's company without the distraction of an endless to-do list.
