A little bit about me

I am a college student looking for a side job to help me pay my bills and help with books! I am interested in any type of job! I have experience caring for children in both professional and personal settings. From ages 11 to 14, I volunteered in my church’s daycare where I supervised children, helped with daily activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I also helped care for my younger brother, who is 6 years old and has autism, which taught me patience, responsibility, communication skills, and how to support children with different needs. In addition, I have babysat for friends and family while being paid for my services, gaining hands-on experience with childcare, routines, and supervision. I currently live with and help care for my roommate’s 5-year-old daughter, assisting with daily needs, supervision, and creating a caring environment.

More About Me

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

Relevant experience I have caring for children includes working in my church’s daycare and currently helping care for a 5-year-old child I live with. In these roles, I have helped support children’s growth and development by assisting with their daily routines and basic needs. I help with tasks such as getting ready for school, transportation, homework, learning activities, and encouraging responsibility by helping pick up around the house. Through these experiences, I have developed patience, communication skills, and the ability to create a caring, supportive, and structured environment for children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy creating fun, engaging, and interactive experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing games, and encouraging imaginative play with toys. I also like involving children in hands-on activities such as helping with simple cooking and cleaning tasks to build responsibility and confidence. I enjoy taking walks, spending time outdoors, and creating a positive, supportive environment where children can learn, stay active, and have fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most Important is making sure the kid feels included and supported. Helping with their every need and spending time with them!

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children comes from helping care for my younger brother, who has autism and was nonverbal during his early years. Through patience, consistency, and support, I helped encourage his communication skills, social interaction, and daily development. I worked with him on learning how to share, play with others, and express himself in ways that made him more comfortable and confident. This experience taught me understanding, compassion, adaptability, and the importance of supporting every child at their own pace. Watching his growth over the years has been incredibly rewarding, and I continue to support and encourage his progress every day.
