Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love drawing and doing crafts, using chalk, reading to/with them, playing with toys, going outside and to the park, watching shows, dancing, singing, and playing make believe.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I feel it is important to meet people where they are at. Everyone is at different places in their lives and development. So instead of dragging someone in a specific direction I prefer to let them take the lead and learn what makes them happy, sad, or angry.
If a child is throwing a tantrum I believe it is okay to let them feel whatever they need to feel; maybe with a little redirection to something productive. It is important to let them know that it is okay to feel big feelings they may not understand.

We lived in Phoenix for nearly a decade with a small section of that where we were in Los Angeles while I nannied for a family needing short-term help for their 8 and 12 year old.
I’ve been babysitting since I was 10 years old (neighborhood children, family friends, my sister and her friends, my mom’s coworker’s children, etc.). I also nannied for a family during a couple of summers breaks during college. I studied psychology at Ohio University.
After years as a Health Coach, I am now a stay at home mom. My hours are spent loving on our child, finding activities to enhance her development at each stage, making sourdough, and cleaning. I know it’s cliche, but this is the most joyful work I’ve ever had.
I lean towards gentle parenting, positive discipline, and some Montessori techniques as these have benefitted our family the most.

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Athens, OH: Katon R.
Hello,
My name is Katon Riehl, I am currently a senior at Ohio University, pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education.
Last summer, I had the privilege of serving as the lead teacher for a summer camp dedicated to supporting low-income families. This role allowed me to develop my leadership and organizational skills while making a positive impact on the children's lives. Alongside this, I balanced a part-time job as a server, demonstrating my ability to manage multiple responsibilities effectively.
During the previous academic year, I completed a student teaching experience in a preschool setting, which solidified my love for early childhood education. In the spring of 2022, I became a substitute teacher for elementary schools, further enhancing my adaptability and teaching skills.
In addition to my professional experiences, I am an avid traveler who loves adventure and staying active. I find joy in spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and embracing new challenges.
