A little bit about me

48 year old Mom and Gammy who’s youngest kiddos have abandoned me during the day for high school. It would be my pleasure to work with a family as their little ones grow.

My last nanny toddler just started with a daycare and while I still watch him on days closed, when it works best for his parents, and on date nights; I am looking for a new regular and consistent family.

I find joy in watching a child’s eyes light up, seeing their smiles, and hearing their giggles as they start to figure out the world around them. I introduce infant sign language as an additional path of communication.

I am happy to support any parenting plan you have in place or would like to implement.

I would love to meet you, learn about you and your family and how I might be able to bring my skills to the table.

Be well.

More About Me

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

I was the Sunday School Teacher for the 5th Grade class in New Badén IL from [phone number hidden] and also assisted with the annual Vacation Bible School.

I was the Sunday School - One Room Teacher in Huachuca City, AZ who taught all elementary and Jr. High children from [phone number hidden].

I was a nursery staff member in Sierra Vista, AZ from 2005 to 2008 when our sweet Ms. Helen retired.

I became the Nursery Coordinator in 2008 and of course continued on as a staff member. Assisted with church wide vacation bible school, and holiday events/programs.

In 2010 I became the Sunday School Director in Sierra Vista, AZ which encompassed the new nursery coordinator and staff, the Nursery, all training, cleaning, security and safety, time cards, pay, scheduling, curriculum, etc.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor activities with babies:
Rocking, singing, tummy time, finding fingers and feet, using interactive mats with lots of different sounds and feels and then working on pushing with legs, neck strength, and that rolling over.
Work on that balance sitting, pulling up, to standing, and eventually running. Tracking of things so playing with balls, stacking cups, tactile toys and really just letting them explore and learn. Reading and exploring books is so much fun, letting them explore the pages and characters, making up voices with them.
Outdoors with this age is the same, exploring. This is where I tend to get a little messier. It’s Arizona so outside of a few months it’s really hot for children so I like to make splash pads or mini sprinkler toys so they can explore in a safe controlled environment but stay cool.
I like to teach little ones some baby sign language it has a tendency to help calm some communication frustrations that can come with the twos,threes,fours.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being able to support my parents! Remind them that they are doing a great job, that they are the perfect parents for this child; that no one knows their child better, and no one anywhere could hold them better, comfort them better, feed them better, sing to them better, bathe them better, educate them better. I know how hard this job is but you were chosen for this job, for this child for a reason. Trust the process, you are doing a great job!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have a tendency to blow raspberries on my nanny children’s backs/bellys/legs whatever; and this particular morning Z was free playing while I was writing my notes for his mother. He was of the peekaboo age and so he snuck up behind me (I was in a chair) he pulled up my shirt and raspberried my back then ran away squealing, laughing, and hiding. I turned and had the appropriate reaction so he kept doing it 3, 4, 5 more times. I was able to text his mom, take a picture, and a video and send them to his mom as a memory for her.
