A little bit about me

I'm safety oriented but lots of fun and do arts and crafts and go outside in most weather except rain. I raised 2 special needs boys. I am a Christian. Been in the same church decades. I'm on a motorized scooter until I can save up for a car. I've had to start life over from scratch because of an abusive marriage but my head is screwed on straight. My church will back me up on that. I work at Upper Bay Counseling as a van driver and Tractor Supply some nights but I am willing to phase out Tractor Supply for the right family. I just passed a background check at UB and a drug test and can be tested randomly. Also I used to be a dog/cat groomer and break horses so if you have pets ...cool! I'm trusting God to lead me in this endeavor as He builds a new, happy life for me and I hope to be a blessing to a family who needs me. I love my UB job and need the benefits and it's from 9-3 mon- Fri. Thank you.

More About Me

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

Day care in Quarryville PA. Church nursery volunteer. Private nanny for 5 kids. Private nanny for 1 baby girl.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Going to parks/ playgrounds, listening to music with kids and doing arts and crafts. Not too much TV with kids unless they are sick or tired or something.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Telling kids they are wonderful and cool and smart and that God did good when He made them. They all light up at that. Some adults do too.

My experience with special needs children...

My older boy, age 19 was diagnosed with some autism but verbal and high functioning. My younger boy has mood disorders and is 15 now.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Teaching them clean jokes is always fun. Kids love to make adults laugh and even if the joke is lame I still laugh. Clean kid jokes are cheesy but kids are sweet when they try to be funny right?

Natalya B. - Seeking Work in Elkton

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Elkton, MD: Natalya B.

. Hello there, my name is Natalya Byrd. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. My career started as a live-out nanny during COVID, then moved to babysitting, and finally to working in daycares. I have been working in daycares for the past four years.

During my career, I have worked with children from the age of 1 to 12 years old. To me, this career is not just about watching children. It’s about teaching children how to behave correctly in certain situations teaching them their alphabet, counting handwriting, life skills, and more.

When people ask me, do you like your job? I say yes, every time. I’m not just watching children but I am teaching/guiding kids in the right direction.
