More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Growing up, I would babysit for younger children (6 months to 12 years) for family and friends. I come from a large family (I have 20 cousins), so I am used to the high energy and quick pace that comes with being with little ones. The most children I have babysat at once is 4 of my little boy cousins.
In my major, I have taught PE to students in Laramie. To students in grades pre-k-2, I taught throwing & catching, locomotion & stillness, and spatial awareness. To 5th graders, I taught tchoukball, dance, pickleball, and gymnastics/parkour. This last fall I taught ultimate frisbee, badminton, and dance to 6th graders.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I like to be outside with kids as much as possible. Some of my favorites have been walks, sledding, and walking while I watch the kids ride their bikes. Activities that help them stay engaged and not just on a screen are ones I like. This could look like making a craft, going on the trampoline, or making a fort. I like to do things that will make them feel important and show I value their interests like dress-up, cars, dolls, animals, playing house.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I find it imperative to take time to get to know the child and their needs. Giving them the space to warm up to me so I don't overwhelm them. A physically safe environment is key as well. This looks like making sure I don't leave any cleaners or heavy glass jars out. In addition, I would make sure to always double-check any baby-proofed cabinets are locked after I use them. Lastly, I value respecting the home and the family I am serving. Taking time to understand their expectations and helping out where I can. Such as dishes and laundry.
My experience with special needs children...
This last summer I worked one-on-one with a 12-year-old who had a visual impairment at a camp in Brockport, NY. While coaching, I used strategies like verbal skill cues, tactile modeling, and physical guidance to coach her in swimming, tandem biking, blind tennis, and to paddle board independently.
The most important part about being a nanny...
A few of these little boys and I put on blankets as capes and acted as superheroes. I think we also were pretending to be ninjas. Then, I set up my phone and we did our fights and were all silly. I loved the giggles and just being able to be a kid with them.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Laramie, WY: Delilah D.
Hi, My name is Delilah. I am a current freshman at the University of Wyoming studying technical stage management. I have lived in Laramie most of my life however and just graduated from Laramie high school last spring. I have a lot of child care experience because of my family and that fact that I was the oldest grand daughter to 13 total cousins. I love watching kids because they are such a light to be around and getting to see the world a bit more through their eyes when I get the chance just brightens my day. Outside of my family child care experience I also had a few family’s during my high school years that would babysit for occasionally along with working at a dance studio mainly working with 3-5 year olds for 5 years. I am a pretty flexible person as far as my schedule for the most part along with being flexible with the kids and whatever they would like to do within reason. As far as around the house goes I have a basic level of cleaning skills along with the ability to cook.
Babysitter Available in Laramie, WY: Kate G.
Hi! My name is Kate Greiner and I am a Colorado native currently going to school here in Laradise. I am studying Speech, Language, and Hearing sciences and am incredibly passionate about child development. Outside of the classroom, I keep busting by working with the football team as a sports medicine aide, and teaching yoga! Much of my childcare experience comes from working with Boy Scouts for almost a decade, including camp counselor and medic roles. Most recently, I worked as a backpacking guide for boy scouts in rural Alaska. I can handle any sort of situation childcare throws at me, even grizzle bears! In my free time, I love to bake (pies are my specialty), sew, play guitar, and explore the outdoors while backpacking!
