The most important part about being a nanny...

To work with any child, one needs to be fun, energetic, selfless, and present. To be a really good nanny, I think you need paitence and the ability to think like a parent...what would I want someone to do for MY child and then act on it. Children need love and consistency within all interactions and a good nanny should be able to provide those things easily.

My experience with special needs children...

80% of my career has been centered around working with children with various needs. I am currently a behavior therapist working with children ages 13 to 16 who needs are both educational, emotional, and behavioral.
