More About Me

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

For each child, no matter the age, I have been responsible for every aspect of their developmental, physical, social, mental, emotional, and educational well being.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love having them on a routine that they can count on, but also making it fun and educational.
I love playing with them (it brings back childhood memories. I have an excuse to be a kid! Lol)
I also love to be on the move, so outside time in nature is a must! Hopefully I will wear them out so you can get them to easily sleep at night!
I also love taking them to different places to switch it up (i.e. at my last nannying position, we went to just about every library and playground in CT and Mass!)
I love taking them to story time/craft time at libraries too.
I also love to take them to children museums (like KidsPlay in Torrington, and the CT science center in Hartford), and to kid-friendly trampoline places like Bounce-Town in Canton.
But of course, whatever we do (whether at and/or at home) is completely up to the parents' discretion.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping them safe, and making sure they always know how loved and special they are!

I believe that children are precious, and are an incredible gift. I know that all ages of a child are important, but especially the ages birth to 6. Those years are crucial regarding the foundation for their life. With that in mind, all ages are very important!
And when a parent wants me to help watch and care for their child, I consider it a privilege and opportunity. I find it amazing to be a part of the community that raises a child! I take them in with open arms, keep them safe, & love/care for them as my own. :)

My experience with special needs children...

My toddler has a slight speech delay.
I have also worked with other children who had behavioral and emotional issues, and Autism.
I've also worked with super-picky eaters!
I am grateful for my experience, and I have worked with professionals to better my skill-set in working with children who have certain disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I've always had a great passion and love for kids.
I love watching them grow, reach milestones, overcome obstacles, and expand for the better!
It is very easy for me to connect with children, and I have a soothing effect on them. They have always been drawn to me. I've often been called the pied-piper by others.
