The most important part about being a nanny...

The safety, care, and happiness of the children I am responsible for.

My experience with special needs children...

- I am about to begin my fourth year of special education study
- I have been accepted into a masters program to further and expand on that knowledge
- I have been a teacher's assistant at 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, working in special education classrooms
- I nannied two children with multiple disabilities as a senior in high school
- I was a volunteer at the Special Olympics for my swim team

The most important part about being a nanny...

I spent around 10 hours almost every day over the summer, and as my schedule allowed during high school with the two children I nannied (for two years). I played with them, helped them with their reading, took them to appointments, organized trips (water park, Chuck E. Cheese, etc.), cooked for them, changed diapers, etc. I absolutely fell in love with the kids. On my last day, they made me a card and when it was time for me to go, they clung to me and cried when they realized they wouldn't see me for a while. It both broke and warmed my heart at once.
