A little bit about me

Hi! My name is M. I am 26 years old and just recently moved to San Diego. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, mostly enjoying home cooked meals and quality time with my loved ones. I love to dance and listen to music. I enjoy the outdoors and being in nature. I love to cook and sure love to eat! I was recently a teacher for Plumas Charter School in the lovely Northern California town of Quincy. It was a tough decision to leave my lovely little hometown, but it was time for some change.

More About Me

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

I have taught for the last two years. I had the opportunity to work with a variety of ages ranging from PreK to 12th grade. I have volunteered at my cousins daycare and have helped her with her group of kids. She has children from ages 2-6 years old. I have also babysat and nannied my own nieces and nephews when needed. I’ve had opportunities to volunteer as an outdoor educator at a summer camp in Northern California. I would take students on educational hikes as well as take them paddling on the river!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Singing, dancing, playing music, reading, homework, going for walks, art activities, playing dinosaurs, journaling, social emotional learning

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have not had the privilege of being a nanny yet, but in my experience working with children, I think that the most important part about being a nanny is being a safe person for children to trust. I want to ensure my kiddos and their parents that I will do everything in my power to ensure that they are safe, both physically and emotionally, when they are with me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with aiding students with IEPS. I also have a little brother who is on the spectrum.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was teaching, I had a very wise student who was on the spectrum. She was having a really tough day and was having a hard time being able to follow direction. After she took some alone time to calm herself she came up to have a little chat with me on my break. She looked at me and described her struggle with her own conscious. She told me “It’s like my brain knows what’s good and what’s bad…and even when I want to do the right thing my brain wants to do the bad thing!” I assured her that she was not bad and reminded her that sometimes it’s hard to focus and listen. I told her how I struggled with focus on school even as an adult! Her sweet little eyes looked at my puzzled and after letting out a sigh of frustration she told me, “I’m starting to think that life is just hard!” I looked at her with a huge grin and told “My dear, you are wise beyond your years. Life is tough, but that’s the fun part. We just have to keep trying and practicing everyday.”
