More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have been a nanny to a family of 5 children (including toddler twins) for the last 3 years, and I have nannied professionally for other families. I have about 15 years experience working in a mixed-age preschool serving young toddlers through Kindergarteners. I also have 3 years experience working as a mentor and teacher to adolescents. In all of these settings, I have gained experience working with children who have special needs.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy learning about the interests of the child (or children) and catering to those interests while taking into consideration their temperaments and any unique needs. I specialize in art and sensory-based activities indoors and outdoors. I love reading, cooking and baking, singing, dramatic play, sports, board games and puzzles, obstacle courses, nature walks, playgrounds, libraries, and museums. I am happy to support the interests of each child.
The most important part about being a nanny...
There are a few things that matter most to me about being a nanny. The first I would say is guaranteeing the safety and overall happiness of the children. The second is building a sound professional relationship with the family as a whole and learning about the family's values and expectations. I see nannying as a partnership where my job is to always communicate with parents about a child's well-being and offer feedback (whenever welcome) on their development or needs; in the same vein, it's important for me to respect and embody what the parents want for their children (e.g., whether it's consistent routines or something more free-flow; limited screen time or lots of outdoor time; tons of free play or targeted academic support. I take the role of being a nanny seriously and the children always come first.
My experience with special needs children...
I have considerable experience with children who have autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and Persistent Demand Avoidance (PDA). I am also sensitive to the needs of children who have unique sensory processing.
The most important part about being a nanny...
It's hard to pick just one! I really enjoy moments when children succeed to do something that was once just-beyond-reach, and watching their satisfaction or delight when they realize they did it on their own. Last summer, I helped a child who is now 8 years old set-up a lemonade stand. I helped her to create lemonade from scratch by following a recipe, write text on a large banner, lug table and chairs to the sidewalk, think through how to receive money and give change, and then promote her product to the public. I navigated this by giving her space to do as many tasks as she could on her own so that it felt like her success! And it was such a fun time for everyone involved. She was elated with her experience.
