More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
As I mentioned, I've raised my own kiddos. I have extensive experience with preemies and babies that are on oxygen and/or medical equipment. I have worked in the church nursery and vacation bible school for years.
I coached and directed a tennis program that was pre-K through varsity for many years. (almost 100 kids at our biggest year)
I successfully raised a red head. If that isn't experience enough, I don't know what is. :)
But if it isn't, I can also tell you I was a probation officer too. I've had to monitor some pretty terrible individuals. So even at their worst, kids do not faze for me.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love reading, playing games, playing outdoors, going for walks, looking at nature. Arts/crafts, playing sports, learning new things.
Seeing the world through the eyes of a child opens many doors, but often we are in too much of a hurry with life.
I just love doing all the fun things with kids, even the older ones who pretend to hate the world. Typically, if you can get under that layer of "I'm too cool for you", there is an awesome little human in there that just wants to be heard.
The easiest way to get to know a child is through activities. I am still a big kid myself at 54. I will sit down and play with cars or Barbies for an hour, no problem!

The most important part about being a nanny...
Creating a safe environment for the children in your care to learn and grow. Taking the time to get to know each child and meet their individual needs while keeping things interesting for a group (if there is one). Also making the family/parents comfortable enough that they can go about their plans without having to worry constantly about what is going on at home.
My experience with special needs children...
My nephew has a diagnosis list longer than a giraffe's neck. He was born at 22 weeks. He was on oxygen and monitors for a year after he came home. He is autistic and has extensive health issues. I have actively helped raise him.
I have also had much experience with Downs. I watched a teen with Downs for a few years before they moved out of state. I have a volunteer at my work with Downs. She and I get along famously!
I did not turn any child away from my tennis program. If their parent was able to get them there, we accommodated them. Even if they were not capable of tennis. We made some type of experience related to the sport for them. The toddlers were equipped with baskets to pick up their older sibling's tennis balls. The kids in wheelchairs were handed short racquets. The autistic kids that were refused in every other program were welcomed in mine.
Every child can do something.
You just have to figure out what it is, and let them shine!

The most important part about being a nanny...
My nephew was almost a year old. He was on oxygen still and slept with a heart monitor with an alarm on it.
Everyone treated him like he was made of glass. Everyone except me. I refused to treat him like he was broken or lesser.
He was at my knee one day with his 10 miles of oxygen tubing trailing behind him. I was doing dishes and he was slapping my leg. "UP!" "UP!" I looked down at him and he grinned.
I picked him up and tossed him in the air much to his mom's horror and his delight. It was the first time in his difficult life of NICU, medical appointments, medicine and oxygen that he actually belly laughed. Hysterically belly laughed. In turn we all started laughing (expect his mom). Every time I stopped, he would shriek "MO" (more).
He is 12 now. I still do not treat him like he's broken. I rough house with him and his mom still almost has heart failure but he now repeats my mantra to her in exasperation.
"Life is meant to be lived, Mom! You can't worry about maybes."
