A little bit about me

I have experience working at a daycare/preschool, primarily Wellspring Academy in Denton. I love working with infants and toddlers under 2 years old but I also have some experience with autistic children and older children. I am currently CPR and First Aid- trained. I enjoy cleaning, meal prep & making of easy meals or baking, love & enjoy playtime (especially bubbles, chalk, swimming or singing) & to read the children in my care. I decided to switch to in-home care as I've worked with both seniors and children for 5 years, primarily in facilities & daycare. I wanted to help families who are more at ease in their own homes & also facilities tend to brush past my/former coworkers concerns or questions about supplies. I speak English only and typically take the bus or lyft work if far, if not I walk.

More About Me

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

I have worked in an in-home caregiving situation for 2 years and have been currently working at Wellspring Academy (mainly a Preschool) & have enjoyed working with infants & toddlers under 2 for months. I went from assistant teacher to a floater teacher now, so I have experience with older kids as well 2-4.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Main things: soccer, basketball, bubbles, chalk, splashing in puddles, exploring, swimming, jump rope, and biking, etc !

The most important part about being a nanny...

To care for, learn about, respect and protect the children I've been put in charge of. I was very timid wheni started out in daycare and nanny work, so worried about doing the wrong thing, I never wanted a child to fear me or see me angry. But I quickly learned how to approach discipline in a more restrained and calm manner than I was taught as a child & etc. I hate raising my voice and etc, but safety is also important so I try my best to find the balance of gentle correction & to set the kiddos up for success

My experience with special needs children...

Mainly children on the spectrum, some completely non-verbal with ipads and some who were more verbal & etc.
I understand how certain noises or activities can overwhelm someone who is special needs and try to adjust our tasks for the day or plans to accommodate their needs and comfortability level

The most important part about being a nanny...

Probably when some of the kids who started my past daycare job with as 12-18 months, started calling for me by name when I'd enter the room! I always thought it was so sweet
