The most important part about being a nanny...
To me, the most important part of being a nanny is building a relationship based on trust, with both the children and their parents. Children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported, so I strive to create an environment where they feel comfortable being themselves while also learning, growing, and having fun. Equally important is earning parents' confidence by communicating openly, being dependable, and caring for their children as if they were my own. At the end of the day, I want families to feel at ease knowing their children are not only safe, but genuinely happy, engaged, and loved while they're in my care.
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked with children with Autism at The Growing Place and at 549 Sports.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite moments as a caregiver happened while I was working with a toddler who had always been very shy and hesitant to join group activities. Every day, I would sit with them during art time, talking about colors, animals, and whatever sparked their interest, never pushing them to participate before they were ready. After a few weeks, they walked over on their own, took my hand, and proudly showed me the painting they had made with the other children. Seeing their confidence grow and knowing I had helped create a space where they felt safe enough to try something new was incredibly rewarding. It's moments like these that remind me that childcare isn't just about keeping children safe, it's about building trust, celebrating small milestones, and helping them believe in themselves.
