A little bit about me

I am a 65 year old retired school teacher. I have had 29 years of working with both regular and special education students from kindergarten through high school. I raised five of my own children (four boys and one girl). I have 7 grandchildren and 2 on the way. I also have 2 nieces (4 and 2), whom I take care of and enjoy. Now that I am retired, I would welcome the opportunity to lovingly care for your child or children. I love to read, sing and care for kids. I am responsible, careful, loyal, honest, trustworthy, and always on time. I am dependable and consistent. I adhere to schedules and rules/boundaries, as well as follow directions that are given. I have a good head and a gentle heart. I am a self-starter and take initiative.

More About Me

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

I cared for other children as well as my own during summers when I was home including twin infants. I had planned activities as well because I had learning centers at school. The children learn so much more being engaged in activities. I tutored homebound special education students as well as tutoring and caring for other teachers' children during the school breaks and weekends.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love art as I have a minor in art and taught art appreciation in elementary schools. I like doing stem projects as well as hands on cut and paste activities. I enjoy outside walks to parks, helping kids on playground equipment, and being in snow or sun. With my own children, I built snow forts, taught them how to swim and help my grandchildren do the same. I meet up with them at play places like The Treehouse in Lake Zurich. I climb right in with them, stay watchful over them, and engage with them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a reliable, caring, and responsible nanny with respect towards my employers.

My experience with special needs children...

In my 29 years of teaching, my classrooms consisted of both regular and special needs children ranging from developmentally delayed, autistic, Down's Syndrome, traumatic head injuries, Ausberger's, and Tourettes. My minors are in learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. I have a Master's in Curriculum and Education. I am well versed with IEP's and 504s.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love reading books especially the ones with animals and actions. I came over to one home and they opened the door holding their arms like sharks welcoming me in. Another time, we were doing the finger play to the itsy bitsy spider as they were sitting my lap. They played the spider crawling on my arm, and it crawled on my face and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Twin Lakes, WI: Kathleen S.

Hello! My name is Kathleen, I have 4 amazing kiddos there 16, 16, 14, and 11!! I’ve been a nanny before I had my children and was very close with the family! I was asked to stay with them and bring my 1st baby to work with me but after our first ultrasound we found out there were 2 baby’s (Twins)….. so I stayed home with them. :) I’ve also worked in childcare as a lead teacher in a two year old room and a infant room in the past I worked for that company for 4 years so I definitely like to stay with a company (I worked for usps for a total of 10 years) or Be it a nanny or a casual sitter, for how long I’m needed. I like the connection and comfortable even a bond I’d make with the family. I still am close to the family I nannied for, for children it’s consistency and trust… also for the parents it’s about Trust having my own children I understand what a huge deal it is to have to trust someone.
