A little bit about me

I am 25 years old and the eldest of everything. Child, Grandchild, Great Grand,etc. I have always helped take care of my cousins and my younger sister. I have 4 godchildren that I adore and two of them I took care of while their moms worked, went to school, or suffered really bad postpartum. I have worked as a teaching assistant for 4th and 5th graders. I have tutored students with learning disabilities since I was 14. I tutor in Spanish, geometry, phonics, reading, English, Art, World History, and Black History. I have previously worked in the home health care field, so I am First aid and CPR certified. When describing myself I would say that I am the biggest kid you will meet, I love watching anything animated, Disney, Barbie, He-man, Paw Patrol, etc. I love sports and being active. I love spending time and mentoring children. I’ve coached Soccer Shots GR. I personally think I have the personality of a Golden Retriever :) I am very happy go lucky and hate to see anyone upset or sad.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am an active person that enjoys walks, sledding, outside adventures, science experiments, library trips, art, decorating, all the fun things!

The most important part about being a nanny...

is to understand the children that's in your care. How to be able to understand them and communicate even when they don't want or can't use words.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with verbal and nonverbal autistic children and adults, mobile and immobile, I have experience with children and adults with cerebral palsy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had a kid that told me upon greeting that he was bad and everyone thought he was bad and so would I. I told him that he wasn't bad and was going to prove it to him. I observed and learned what made him tick and things he liked. The issue wasn't that he was bad, but misunderstood and needed a lot of mobile activity and stimulation. By the end of our time together he was convinced he wasn't a bad kid and was able to express to other adults what things he would need to be more tame.
