A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as creative, dependable, and kind. I started to work with children back in high school, because I love watching them learn and grow. I have my Child Development Associate, awarded by the Council for Professional Recognition. I have earned my bachelor's degree at FGCU with a major in psychology and a minor in education and forensic studies. My main focus is child growth and development. I can care for multiple children, of all ages, at one time. I am First-Aid/CPR/AED certified in infants, children, and adults. I also have years of experience working with children and adults with special needs. I can provide swim-supervision, light housework, homework help, transportation, and more. In my spare time, I am volunteering for those with intellectual disabilities and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. I love to chat more to see if I would be a great fit for your family!

1) (Most recent) As a nanny of 2 newborns, 1 toddler, and 1 preschooler. 2) (Also recent) At the Arc of the Saint John's working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health disorders. 3) As an assistant preschool teacher. 4) Volunteer work and Study in elementaries, middle schools, and high schools.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Learning with play, including arts and crafts, fine motor activities, gross motor activities, language development activities, cognitive skills activities, and my personal favorite: interpersonal and intrapersonal emotional regulation and intelligence activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is the desire to see the child(ren) grow and develop, and the willingness to foster an environment where that is possible.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children and adults with special needs, such as autism, ADHDs, OCDs, Anxiety disorders, and low IQ/intellectual disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most recent favorite nanny moment was when I was talking to a 2 month old and said "Hi!", gave a wave, and the 2 month old mimicked the "Hi!" and moved their arm as if to raise their hand, then giggled uncontrollably. I thought I was going to burst into tears, laughing.
