A little bit about me

I love working with kids and learning from them, they give me so much happiness! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, I started a baby-sitter's club with my friends but my love for taking care of kids started with my cousin who was born when I was eight years old. I can never forget what it felt like to hold a newborn baby for the first time. My family did foster care, and I had two young girls live in my home. Some days were hard, I would often cry with them because of the experiences they went through, but I grew so much because of them. I am currently a student at BYU-Idaho, and I am majoring in Social Work. My goal is to work with kids and help give them the lives they deserve and need. I love to clean and organize; in my home I am often the one who cleans the common areas because I enjoy it and I like to create a clean space for me and my roommates. I even tend to clean my friends' homes for free! I care deeply for others and every day I find a way to love.

More About Me

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

I worked at a day care called Bird's Nest for a couple months before I moved to Idaho. I worked mainly with the 2- to 3-year-old age group and consisted of ten kids. It was an amazing job, and I was grateful for the opportunity.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing crafts, playing outside, going on walks, having dance parties, playing make believe games, making up games with the kids, cooking and bake with the kids, and I enjoy playing with their toys with them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me is teaching them how to treat others and giving the parents a break. I like providing a chance for parents to take some "me time" and I feel like as a nanny, I can teach the children how to be kind and how to be a good person. Overall, a nanny has the chance to bring happiness to a kid's life, and they can have a positive influence.

My experience with special needs children...

I would babysit for a family of four kids, and the oldest son has autism. I would babysit this family at least two times a week and I have learned his way of thinking. He is a very smart kid but there have been difficult times, I have learned to work with him and find what works. In school, I would volunteer and work with special needs children. I would help them with schoolwork, and I would teach them how to socialize. And I was a member of the Best Buddies program in my high school.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I remember putting a girl to bed and she said to me, "I love you, Paige." It was so sweet how she said it and it made me feel like I was doing a good job of taking care of her.
