A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Vaughn Miller and I am a freshman at Nova Southeastern University. I have a ton of experience working with kids, animals, and the elderly. I am more than willing to do house keeping, cooking/baking for the kids and families, and will be able to entertain kids without the need of a tablet or any kind of electronic. My school schedule is pretty open so I'd have no issue working out a flexible schedule!

More About Me

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

- I did volunteer work for kids as a part of a group I created back home called Junior Casa Workers (JCW) where we took out kids in CPS or foster care and did activities with them. I started this when I was 15 up until I moved here for college at 18. Kids ages were 3-17
- I worked as an Open Gym Coach at my old cheer gym from age 13-17 and worked with kids 6-10
- I babysat my neighbors kids when I was 17 for almost a year, they had 4 kids 3 girls and one boy and their ages were 4, 6, and two 9 year old.
- I worked as a party host at a place called Shenanigans for 6 months while I was 17 and stopped working there when I was moving here for college. I worked with age groups from 4 to 18 years old. It was my job to keep them entertained.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor activities:
- I can make balloon animals for the kids
- Read books to them and act them out
- Play board games/ puzzles
- Dancing games to keep bodies energized
- Shadow puppets or other imaginative games
- Teach them about other cultures or music in a child friendly way ( I do this by having them try foods from different places, learn traditions, and teach them dances or something from that culture)
Outdoor activities:
- Draw with chalk/ water painting
- make a scavenger hunt
- play some kind of sport
- picnics
- make pet rocks
- draw and label flowers/ trees
-plant a garden (If allowed by parents)
-Toast marshmallows
- Play exploring games (teaches the kids about the environment and how to protect nature)

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is patience. Some days the kids will have an off day and its important to remember that at one point I was that age too and try to come up with a compromise that works for me and for the child.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with special needs kids in the past, including autism, and nonverbal. I am up for any challenge and if your child does have a form of special needs I will treat them as I do all the other kids and be a friend for them :)

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when I was babysitting 2 twin boys who were super into the Olympics and we set up an Olympics day for the kids were we did multiple activities inside and outside and it involved a history lesson as we learned about the sports we were trying out, the origin of said sports, and the very first Olympics.
