A little bit about me

I'm a nanny and former nursery school teacher. If you are looking for an occasional sitter or a full or part time nanny, we may be perfect for each other.

I am open to live in during scheduled hours, but prefer to be at my own home when not at work. My primary home is in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I’m happy to work with a family who divides their time between Florida and the North East. I can easily work as a live out nanny for a family in the Hudson Valley or NYC.

Travel ready, with US passport. Happy to be ROTA, and will consider temporary positions.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

nursery school teacher, live in and live out nanny, school bus driver, Sunday school teacher, Girls Inc teacher.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I'm the outdoorsy type, so I'm happy to explore anything the kids are curious about. I believe strongly in learning through play.

I love board games. I think it's good to model winning graciously and losing with dignity. Sometimes to be silly I'll ask kids if they'd like me to be a sore loser- then I'll flop around and pretend to have a tantrum. Kids LOVE it.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is making sure your child feels safe, respected, and loved when you are away. I will always make sure your child knows that they need to tell you anything that happens. For example, I accidentally gave a little boy I nannied for caffeine! We were at a pizzeria and choose what looked like a fruit seltzer drink. While we were eating and drinking we read the label and saw the caffeine! (I will NEVER make that mistake again!) I told him we had to tell mom when we got home. He was so excited to tell mom I gave him caffeine!

When it comes to meal time, it's important to me it's enjoyable. I will not force a child to eat past the point of fullness, or force them to eat a food they do not want. Children usually need to be exposed to a food many times before they feel safe trying it. I respect that.

One thing I like to do with kids is show them my plate and say "Is there anything on my plate you'd like to try?" This makes trying a new food a very low stakes game.

My experience with special needs children...

Children with Down Syndrome, GAND, and autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One day a little boy I nannied for asked me, "Anne Marie, do we have time for nonsense?" I realized he was remembering the times we were in a bit of a hurry and I said "we don't have time for nonsense."
