More About Me

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

A swim instructor responsible for teaching water safety and swimming skills to children of varying ages and abilities, including children with special needs. Develop and deliver engaging, adaptive lesson plans that support physical development, confidence, and safety in the water. Provide individualized instruction, maintain a safe and supportive environment, communicate progress with parents/caregivers, and respond appropriately to emergencies. Requires patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to modify techniques to meet diverse learning and sensory needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Engage children in fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading stories, playing games, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and simple educational games. Encourage creativity, social skills, and positive behavior while ensuring a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel secure, supported, and encouraged to grow emotionally, socially, and confidently.

My experience with special needs children...

Provide structured, supportive lessons tailored to children with autism, focusing on communication, social skills, academic readiness, and independence. Adapt teaching methods to meet individual learning styles and sensory needs, using positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies. Create a calm, safe, and inclusive learning environment, track progress, collaborate with parents and specialists, and promote confidence and emotional regulation.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching one of my swim students, who has special needs, jump into the pool and swim across all by himself. He used the correct techniques and skills I taught and practiced for months.
