More About Me

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

Worked as a volunteer for the Iowa Youth Writing project during the Fall of 2018, where I engaged with children to promote emotional/intellectual growth through creative writing and other learning exercises.
I also have had experience working with children alongside my mother, who is a 1st grade teacher at Meramec Elementary School in St. Louis, Missouri.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts
Soccer/basketball/outdoor physical activity
Coloring/drawing
Exploring outdoors/curious play
Imaginative/storytelling play with dolls or other toys

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love connecting with children to make them feel understood, listened to, and supported. It's important to me to make sure that each child I work with is given the correct support and attention that they desire emotionally, and I strive to come up with creative games and activities (both indoors and outdoors) that are stimulating, exciting, and promote growth.

My experience with special needs children...

While working as a Summer Camp Counselor during Summer [phone number hidden] I had the opportunity to work with several neurodivergent children who required adapted learning/play activities for mental and emotional stimulation. As someone who grew up with a younger brother on the Autism spectrum with severe ADHD/Dyslexia, I try my best to adapt to the needs of children who may require different approaches to learning, play, and attention.
