More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I realized my love for children when I first started working with them 12 years ago. I have worked for Des Moines public schools since & a couple preschool/learning centers as well. Throughout my time I have also spent my free time babysitting for the many families I have connected with over time. I still have some families I continue to care for but as of now, only on occasion.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I’m a busy body so I love planning activities & doing almost anything to keep moving. My favorite is arts & crafts or going to do things/experiences (like park, zoo, etc.)
The most important part about being a nanny...
I think the most important part is keeping the child safe- but aside from that, it’s SO important to be able to build that special bond with the child(ren) to where you guys can create & share unforgettable memories together.
My experience with special needs children...
I do have experience within a childcare setting with children that have special needs. I have had 3 children in my care over the years in this category.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moment is teaching a child something new! There is nothing like seeing the joy in a child’s eyes when they learn something new! & being the one to teach them it, is so fulfilling! It’s such a proud moment that really touches your heart.
