More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
In school, I chose to be an assistant for the elementary school. I was a TA for first, second, fifth grade and in an SSN room. At 19 years old, I became a para for an elementary school in an SSN room. Total of 13 kids, ages of kindergarten to fifth grade. I worked with low functioning, non-verbal and high functioning, verbal children. I also became an aunt at a very young age. I was the go-to babysitter for my sister-in-laws when they went back to work. Became very familiar with newborns. I have worked with a family for years too. I recently worked at a drug/alcohol rehab for the last three years. I took care of adults instead of kids. I was a behavioral health tech. It was almost babysitting in certain aspects. I was marking their attendance and whereabouts. Helping them establish a routine and have a schedule to follow to create structure. I worked side by side with nurses, PA's and therapists. I'm well versed in CPR, First Aid, CPI, emergency protocols and handling seizures.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I'm still a kid at heart which means I will have fun doing anything. As long as the children or child I'm with is happy, I'll be happy doing whatever they choose. Some indoor activities I enjoy are:
Board games/card games, movies, hide n seek, arts/crafts,reading, make believe games, playing with dolls/Barbies, video games, and cooking/ baking. For outdoor, I enjoy any games like tag, playing catch or a small baseball game, playing at parks, feeding the ducks at the pond, swimming if there's a pool available, learning something new with nature, going somewhere of the child's choice like a museum or a easy hike, riding bikes and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk

The most important part about being a nanny...
Two major factors are building trust and providing consistent, attentive care. Specifically that includes:
1. Safety First- the child or children are always in a secure, supervised and healthy environment.
2. Emotional Support-Showing/demonstrating kindness, patience and being responsive so the child feels and safe and understood.
3. Reliability- Punctuality, following routines and allowing the parents and child to depend on you.
4. Communication- making sure the parents are constantly informed on their child's needs, behavior(s) and development.
5. Engagement- Actively helping the child with learning, playing and growing. Not "just watching them".
At the core of it all, it's about becoming a steady, caring presence in a child's life while respecting the parent's values and wishes.

My experience with special needs children...
I love working with special needs children. They steal my heart every time. I was a teavher's assistant for the high school SSN room when I was a senior. After I graduated, I was a SSN para professional at an elementary school. Worked with kids ranging in the ages of 5/6 to 10/11 years old. I worked with low functioning and non verbal kids along with high functioning and verbal kids. One of my absolute favorite jobs I've ever had.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The moments to me are the simple ones. I love when I'm told "you're my favorite adult or favorite person to play with" or even "I missed you". I love when children feel comfortable enough to hug me because they wanted to. I also love when I am given pictures that they colored, drew, painted... all of it. I will always make sure a child knows how much I care for them and how special they are. It's very nice to receive validation from a child that you are special to them back. That's how I know I'm contributing to their life in a positive manner.
