A little bit about me

Hello, I have been caring for infants and children for over 25yrs and through those years I’ve done everything from teaching Sunday school, working in a daycare, caring for children in my home, to working as a house manager/nanny in other peoples homes. I have been able to take many courses in regards to caring and teaching children throughout the years and I have experience with multiples,children with mental and physical issues, as well as looking after up to 7 children on a day to day basis. I also have experience cooking and cleaning professionally and am happy to apply those skills to help your household run as smoothly as possible so you can spend your time focusing on the kids and not the household tasks.

More About Me

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

I have worked as a Sunday school teacher and a teachers assistant in a classroom setting

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I absolutely love getting down to the child’s level engaging in age appropriate games and activities such as role playing , puzzles, arts and crafts and of course being outside exploring is very important to me . Children thrive when they are able to explore the world around them. Getting to guide them while doing these activities is very rewarding especially when a little one puts time and effort into one of these said activities that they may have struggled with at first or maybe just misunderstood but now they are able to navigate them with little effort is one of the many reasons why I love caring for babies and children!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure there is open communication with the parents assuring that I care for their little ones exactly the way they wish

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children of all ages with different physical and emotional need

The most important part about being a nanny...

Working with foster children whom had lost trust in us big people enough to help show them through caring for them that grownups can be trusted
