A little bit about me

I am pursuing a new opportunity as a nanny. I have experience in bottle-feeding infants, tutoring children from elementary to high school, preparing meals, supervising activities, and preparing educational materials for elementary children. I created opportunities for children to be more engaged in reading to promote critical thinking skills about the principles of the story.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy reading books with the kids to hear their perspective. For example, what do you think will happen next? Why do you think that? What do you enjoy about the book so far? Why do you think the character is doing this?

I think it is important to create prompts for children while reading. So, they can enjoy to read & get used to thinking critically about books sooner than later.

I enjoy helping children with their homework. I try to answer their questions and ask questions to see if they are able to now understand the problem they had. I also do independent research on mind maps so for children of age I would like to help them with that as well.

When the children play outside I usually supervise until they ask me to join. For example, a group of children I was watching were really into soccer and playing on the play structure. But they just wanted me to supervise the rules of the game. Or they would play on the play structure until their parents came to pick them up.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a child care provider is to continually learn how to care for children. This includes nurturing their character, emotional needs, physical needs, and their education. As well as reflecting those values in myself as their caregiver.

My experience with special needs children...

While babysitting, I helped a special needs student write an essay. I made sure to prioritize the needs of the student such as reassuring her when she’d question herself. She was able to put together an essay with points that she understood and was pleased with.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating stories for a doll game with the girl I was babysitting. I liked that it made her laugh.

Hey! I'm Eloise! I am 19 years old and am studying kinesiology in community college. I am a nationally registered EMT with 4 years of babysitting experience.
I love kids, their curiosity and energy are fascinating and I love to see how they grow into themselves. I believe in following kids' leads with reassurance and an emphasis on boundaries, and getting on their level without baby talk. Kids are people and deserve agency and safety above all else. I have mostly worked with grade schoolers across families trying to de-emphasis screen time. I have 4 dogs and am very comfortable with pets. I'm not a great meal prep cook but I am happy to help with whatever is needed!
