More About Me

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

I babysat for years as a teenager and had my own baby in 1998. She is now a photographer for the Register and starting a masters program in January.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I volunteered for the United Way for a couple of years reading to four year old kids just before the pandemic. I think helping kids learn to read, learn numbers, colors, thinking skills, patterns etc. is very important. Listening and singing to appropriate music, cause and effect, laughing, stimulating senses and feelings are important.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is the safety and security of the children. Parents should feel comfortable leaving their children with a caregiver.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for people with disabilities for over thirty years. Most of the time was with adults but children with disabilities need similar care as other children, patience, understanding, joy and care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I loved raising my daughter, seeing her grow and learn. I like to encourage independence as appropriate to see their confidence and self esteem grow.
