A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a BYU student studying visual impairments in infants. I'm looking for a temporary job as an occasional night nanny. I currently have a part time nanny job so I'm looking for a little more to do over the summer. I've been a night nanny for a newborn before for several months (I have lots of experience with sleep training) and I've done overnight babysitting for lots of kids.

More About Me

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

I've worked as a nanny for various different infants for 4 years. I've worked in daycares, child development centers, Utah schools for the dead and the blind, and of course, as a night nanny, which is what I'm hoping to do this summer.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Something I enjoy doing with older kids is having them create obstacle courses and race through them outside. Its a great way to get their energy out, use their creativity, and have fun! This works with toddlers too, they just need help staying focused😂

My favourite thing to do with infants (besides coming up with ways to make them laugh) is making sensory bags for them. At my daycare we would put water, glitter, food colouring, and beads/seashells/pompoms in water bottles or Ziploc bags (we would glue/tape them shut, and always supervise). The babies loved exploring them and it was fun to see!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing to me is patience. I nannied a young boy with low functioning autism for 6 years and working at a daycare for a few months so Ive had lots of practice with patience and it's important to me to stay patient and professional.

Another quality important to me as a nanny is creative! I love coming up with new fun ways to learn with kids and babies, and its so rewarding to watch them enjoy it as much as I do😊

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked in a child development center with lots of different special needs. Including Down Syndrome, Autism, and what we called Spirited. Ive also worked with kids with autism at Utah Behavior Services so I have lots of experience in this department. I'm also looking for more experience with CVI babies because I want to work with them once I have my degree

The most important part about being a nanny...

I could not pick a favourite moment, I think I can narrow it to 2. Recently I was nannying 5 boys ages 1, 5,7,8, and 9. We had an absolute blast playing football in the backyard and then having a nerf gun war in the basement. Everyone had so much fun and I felt like a kid again.

The other favourite moment is a little less specific. I work as an overnight sitter for an infant who has trouble sleeping through the night (and mom works). I will admit that at first I loved this job simply because I got to spend time with a baby for hours, but recently I've grown to love him as an individual and felt very bonded to him. my favourite moments are when he wakes up and smiles at me.
