The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment working with a kiddo by far, has to be the time I was working with a two year old client in a therapy setting. She had ASD and communicated mostly with leading and guiding and ASL (basics). We were practicing sounds "buh," "eee," and "wuh" on the swing. I got the chance to hear her say each sound that she had never said with me before, several times. I immediately reinforced these sounds by swinging her high on the swing and praising her.
