A little bit about me

Windowed mature mom of 4 adults children, grandchildren. COTA background, special needs care, multiple children, dependable, long term, fun, willing to help mom with extra household needs. Many years of child/ adult/ elder care. I’ve been with 2 amazing families for close to 8 years and one family will not need my help as the kids are teens (oldest going to college). I am therefore available on Wednesdays and Fridays. Possible weekend help if needed, but prefer to have time for my grandkids sporting games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping parents, as I remember what it was like to be away from my children and trusting that they were cared for and loved. My job is to ensure that the children in my care are respected, taught good family values/ responsibilities/ manners, and have fun-filled days that provide learning and allow their imaginations to grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have a background as a COTA and have cared for children on the Spectrum, young adults diagnosed with severe mental and physical diseases/challenges. I’ve cared for children in my home (special needs at home day care) including providing therapy for a toddler with CF, and another with a heart condition. I worked with a severely non verbal MR/CP little girl at a Charter school for a year until she was removed due to extreme aggression. I also worked for over 7 years with children and adults diagnosed with severe eating disorders at McCallum Place.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I could never pick one. I’ve cared for over 50 children in my life ( started babysitting when I was 11). Every child has a special place in my heart and has brought me immense joy. I have a great sense of humor (the little ones I currently care for call me ‘silly LaLa’). Giggles and hugs are my favorite moments shared with the children I have grown to love. I still have a decor/ hanging on my wall at home from a mom (her baby I cared for 22 years ago) that reads ‘You are a special chapter in our child’s life’. I feel privileged to have a “book” of chapters that are filled with special moments shared with so many sweet children and their parents.
