A little bit about me

I am a writer and a lover of books. My favorite book is "1984" by George Orwell, but my favorite kids book is "Skippyjon Jones" (if you haven't read it, you should!). I danced for 11.5 years and competitively for 8.5. I have performed for most of my life, and music is the air I breathe. I am in a facebook group called "dogspotting" which is a group where people post pictures of dogs the see. If you can't tell, I love dogs :) I have three brothers: one is 19, one is 7, and one is 6. I love board games (scrabble is my favorite, but hungry hungry hippos is a close second). If you would like to know more about me, I would love to meet over coffee or ice cream!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel that making connections with the whole family and not just the children is a really important part of being a nanny. I want the kids to know I am there with them, not just there to watch over them. Nannying is a very immersive job, rather than just a job you show up to and leave from. I would want the family to consider me family, and to consider them family as well. I think as a nanny, I always try to make sure the kids know they are always safe with me, and show the parents as well. Everything I do will always be in the best interest of the children.

My experience with special needs children...

I have a cousin that is autistic, and he hasn't connected with a lot of people, but he and I are very close. he moved to Texas, and that was really sad for both of us. I have also volunteered with autistic children. And I used to babysit a little boy who had autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I remember when I was in early high school, I was at my mom's friend's house watching a little boy who fought sleep so badly, and I remember sitting with him on the couch, while watching Frozen, and his mom came inside and was amazed that he was asleep so early. I ended up babysitting him for years after.
