The most important part about being a nanny...
Caring for children takes a lot of patience, understanding, and gentleness.
I have always believed that there is a better way to handling children than yelling at them. I have found that being firm in your boundaries while also acknowledging the emotions the child is going through is helpful. It creates a safe environment where the child feels like they can show all of their emotions. For example, if a child really wanted to do an activity that we cannot do at that moment and being told no triggered a tantrum, the best approach is to help the child calm down before you explain why they cannot do that activity. A child who is emotionally distressed cannot listen to reason.
I have always wanted to be a safe space for kids. I didn't have that kind of role model growing up and I wish I had. So my goal is guide and be a helper to these children and their parents in the best way I can.

My experience with special needs children...
I have only worked with a few special needs children. I have found that by working with the parents and understanding the child more I can handle the situation well. Most of the special needs children I have cared for have been on the autism spectrum, but they were still highly functioning. Their autism affected them in the way of over stimulation, anger issues, etc. So I am more familiar with that type of work.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I worked with a child who was dyslexic, and by building her confidence in reading and working on it weekly she was able to advance two reading levels in one school year. It was a huge feat and I am so incredibly proud of her.
