More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I volunteer as a counselor every year for "Royal Family Kids Camp" and "Teen Reach Adventure Camp" which is a fun, week long positive reinforcement camp for children in the foster care system and/or have been abused in some way.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy finding what each child loves and is good at and/or interested in and then basing the activities/playtime off of what they enjoy. For example, I had 2 boys (5 yrs & 3 yrs) who loved Paw Patrol so I made up games to where we would go on "missions" like the paw patrol team and rescue people/pets, etc... they also loved the Mario Karts game so I'd pretend that the swings were Mario & Luigi and I'd push them and get animated with it like in the game - throwing pretend banana peels, etc... and racing them. I also incorporate educational and developmental activities in the mix as much as I can - especially for the little ones still hitting their milestones. With babies, my favorite thing to do with them is making them laugh and I also love baby snuggles!
The most important part about being a nanny...
I love being able to build a bond with the kids and being someone that they can trust and look up to as a role model as they grow up. I enjoy watching them as they learn and hit each milestone. I also feel an important duty to try to make the parents lives easier. Parents don't always get much personal time/space (especially with little ones) so I like to do what I can to help lighten the load. I at least get to unwind at the end of the day when I go home - parents can't always do that (unless we have a foster placement staying with us). Being a nanny has also been sort of therapeutic for myself, as my husband & I have been struggling with infertility for a few years. I enjoy being able to love on other people's children as I wait for my own.
My experience with special needs children...
I have full time experience with severe ADHD, ADD, autism, and tiny premature babies. I've worked full time with a preemie baby from the time he was 2 months old and up - helping with his physical therapy, stretches, milestones, etc... I also took care of a 2 week old preemie baby for about 8 hours each day for a week while her mom was recovering. We also fostered 2 severely autistic toddlers for 4 months from foster care.
The most important part about being a nanny...
There are too many to really say but I find it especially sweet when the little ones want to snuggle. I also get a good laugh from all of the stuff that kids say.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Ocala, FL: Maggie M.
Hello, my name is Maggie. I am the oldest of 5 children (2 sets of twins born after me). I have been an integral part of the care involved with raising my siblings, even in the middle of the night during infancy. I’ve babysat for many families from my family’s church back home in St. Louis, and can provide references. I was previously employed by a latchkey program sponsored by that same church; this job required my being fingerprinted & documented as a safe child caregiver. I have also been a full time nanny for the same family for multiple summers. I have studied child psychology ranging from early childhood development into late adolescents. I have achieved the highest level of girlscout one can reach and earned certification for both heimlich & CPR (infants -adults- and pets). I am very educated in first aide and stay calm in emergencies but come prepared to avoid them in the first place. Kids are our world’s future & being part of their learning journey is a blessing.
