A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Mars and I use He/they pronouns!

I am 19, have worked in a daycare and nanny setting, and am looking for an inclusive family who want their kids to be around someone who is fun, loves to sing and dance, do art projects, and to play outside!
I am looking to be a nanny working about 4-5 days a week for ideally but not exclusively queer, lgbtq, and neuro-divergent kids/families.

I love working with all ages from infants to elementary kiddos! I would be more than happy to work with kids with high support needs as well.

I value empathy, respect, understanding, and boundaries and carry this throughout my work with kids and parents. When working with any age group I find that all kids are receptive when you meet them on their own level with a calm and respectful demeanor.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

With infants my favorite things to do are: making silly faces and sounds, singing songs, and teaching baby sign language!

With older toddlers my favorite things to do are: arts and crafts, going to the park, practicing words, and blowing bubbles!

With preschoolers my favorite things to do are: imaginative play, playing outside, dance parties, building with blocks, and cooking!

With elementary schoolers my favorite things to do are: play board games, do arts and crafts, cooking, building forts, and movie nights!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing for me is being able to help kids to be confident in themselves and help them to be a good human.

I want the kids I nanny to know I will always treat them how I want to be treated. I teach body autonomy and emotional regulation so they can learn to be confident and the best they can be.

One thing that is very important to me is also that any child regardless of gender is allowed to play with any toy, wear any clothes, or have any interested despite how society categorizes it.

My experience with special needs children...

When working with the children at The Evergreen State College Daycare I gravitated a lot towards the kids with higher support needs despite my lack of traditional education in the subject.

I have type 1 Autism and have ADHD so I understand how their brains work and have a lot of empathy and patience with those kids. I have experience with type 1 and type 2 autism.

I am happy to work with any family to learn and adapt to meet their child’s needs.
