A little bit about me

Hey! My name is Lily. I would consider myself as a social butterfly. I love being around others and hanging out with kiddos! I love hanging out with kids because it allows me to feel young again, it allows me to think outside the box and be imaginative. I feel like I can be my silly myself without fear of judgment around kids. All the kids I’ve sat for are so funny and It doesn’t hurt that they think I’m funny too.
I love to travel, be outside and make music! I love art as well and find myself expressing myself through painting and drawing.
I have two moms, two younger sisters and three older brothers. I’m an animal lover as well!
I love to clean and cook which I know is very helpful in the nanny world.
I love to help others too, I love to see how one’s feelings and perspective on things can change with the help of a conversation.
I have a car as well Audi SUV and I’ve been driving the car for two years now.
I hope I’m a good fit!

More About Me

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

I’ve done a lot of volunteer work with children, working at summer camps. I spend a lot of time with my cousins who are my neighbors, they are 5 and 3. I feel as though I’ve gotten a lot of experience while sitting them because one of them has a learning disability called APRAXIA. This makes it hard for my cousin to speak, because the nerve and muscles in his tongue are not connected to the nerves in his brain. It’s heartbreaking, he can get very frustrated very easily. But you just have to remember to stay calm and show him that patience is key even for himself

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Walking, coloring, painting, reading, cooking, playing whatever imaginary game they like, being outside, playing games, working on school, making them laugh is probably my favorite though.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, of course the most important part of being a nanny is to keep your child(ren) safe. But adding onto that, I feel it is so important to to make sure your child feels comfortable, happy and valued while hanging out with me. I don’t want them to dread hanging out with their nanny. I want to make it fun, I want them to look forward to it!

My experience with special needs children...

My cousin has a learning disability called Apraxia. I’ve been babysitting him ever since he was a newborn. He’s five now. It can be challenging at times but the most important thing to remember is to remain patient and to listen to what they have to say.
