A little bit about me

I have extensive childcare experience from working with children in several different settings. From ages 15–17, I worked in a daycare where I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, nap times, activities, and helping children with homework.

From ages 18–20, I worked as an after-school teacher caring for children ages 1–7. I created fun and educational activities, helped with classroom curriculum, and managed groups of approximately 6–12 children at a time.

I currently work at an autism therapy center, where I provide therapy and support for children with autism. My responsibilities include managing behaviors, maintaining structured schedules, potty training, changing and feeding children, and creating fun, educational activities. Through these experiences, I've developed a lot of patience, responsibility, and confidence when caring for children of different ages and needs.

Nannies typically have more experience and training in child care, and may also be responsible for additional tasks such as meal preparation and light housekeeping.
