I have over a decade of professional experience in a licensed setting. This experience includes bilingual (Spanish) preschool teaching, a child-parent relationship specialist, early intervention, family advocacy, tutor, and above all an early child development specialist.

The most important part about being a nanny...
A 5 yr old was showing negative emotional and behavioral tendencies toward his 3 yr old sister. Hitting, jealousy, bullying, were becoming commonplace and habitual.
One day, after being mean to his sister, I said: "Hey, you know she is your best friend. Yeah! She is your best friend & she will be for your whole life! She loves you and follows you."
That is all I said. I did not tell him to do something (i.e. "don't be mean to your sister"). I just let him know that he had a best friend next to him.
From that moment on, his entire attitude seemed to instantly change.
Instead of constantly competing with her, he began including her in all his ideas & discoveries & inviting her to join him on adventures & explorations!
It was so beautiful, almost miraculous! From one single simple positive statement, it changed his whole perspective! He was able to adjust his entire attitude, emotions, responses & actions toward her from that moment on! Incredible!
