More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I’ve worked at a daycare since 2021, where I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to school-age, including middle schoolers. I also have nannying experience and regularly babysit for families, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages and personalities.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy doing a variety of fun and engaging activities with kids, especially anything outdoors. I love playing games, including board games, and doing creative activities like crafts and coloring. I also enjoy making fun snacks with them and finding simple, hands-on ways to keep them entertained and learning.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I think the most important part of being a nanny is building a strong, trusting relationship with both the children and their parents. It’s important that the kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and that parents feel confident and worry-free knowing their children are in good hands with someone they trust.
My experience with special needs children...
I have limited experience with children with special needs, but I am very patient, caring, and willing to learn. I understand that every child is different, and I am comfortable adapting to their individual needs while following any guidance provided by parents or professionals.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my best experiences with a child was during a trip to the zoo. We were looking at the gorillas, and one of them suddenly came up and started banging on the glass. It completely caught us off guard, and we all started laughing because it was so unexpected and funny. I also really enjoy the little everyday moments, like having innocent conversations with kids and hearing how they see the world—it always makes things fun and entertaining.
