A little bit about me

Hi!
I’m a mom of two grown sons and a very proud Gigi to my first granddaughter! I genuinely love being around children and have always found caring for them incredibly rewarding. I’m warm, dependable, patient, fun, and nurturing, and I love creating a safe, happy environment where kids can just be kids. After raising my own family, I’ve realized that working with children has truly been one of my favorite and most fulfilling jobs.

More About Me

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

I was the most booked babysitter in my neighborhood as a young person.
A full time nanny for years
In my late 20’s for a family of 3. I loved it and still keep
In touch with them.
I then had my own two children who are amazing married Men now. I also have one beautiful 5 month old granddaughter who i cherish every minute with.
I also had 20 year career as a board certified Pedorthist and recently retired from that career.
I’m looking to continue my love of helping people especially kiddos. I love to make things fun. I keep a great clean house too!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I Love to go on exploring walks with them. Putting adventure in everything.
I’m great at spinning things in to positive energy and enjoy seeing kids build self esteem and confidence through perseverance, and kindness to others.
Building them up through allowing them to be themselves but at the same time to do their best and take pride in being responsible.
Patience and cultivating their core interests ( as much as that can change frequently) I’ve seen how that makes a future happy adulting adult. I’m so proud of my Sons. They are very successful. I miss seeing the wonder and joy in kids every day when they are nurtured in all the ways. Most of all I love to have Fun and Adventure with kids and experience all the challenges of each individual child as they are.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Safety first!!!
-Nutrition
-Rest when needed ( down time) if needed
-Nature
-Talking through a tough day at school.
-Play through Art

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve never had experience with special needs kids, unfortunately.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Really it’s the play in nature, building mud soup, forts and seeing them accomplish a task like homework project that they were stressed about.
