A little bit about me

I’m a 23 year old student working on my second degree in education grades k-6, with an extension of 7-9 for social studies. I am also a freelance photographer. I currently work for a family with two wonderful boys ages two and 5, but will be in need of a job once school resumes as they will both be attending early childhood day care and first grade! I am passionate about caring for children and it comes very naturally to me and always has since a young age. I’m a Buffalo NY native, and know surrounding areas very well. I am CPR and AED certified. I enjoy anything Disney, I love pets, and take pride in my creative skills. This year, I’ve constructed and gathered many crafts/activities for 5-year-old L and his schoolmate J as I assisted them during the week in virtual learning from September-June. I’m very well versed in kindergarten material and would love to offer any type of educational assistance for your children!

More About Me

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

One time jobs via care.com or through relatives, family friends, etc.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Swimming, riding bikes, taking walks through the neighborhood, soccer, softball, coloring, search and finds, sight word recognition games, sensory games, movies, fort building, LEGOS, all sorts of crafts, math games, reading, dance parties, etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is making sure the children trust me and see me as the caregiver I want to be! Nothing makes me happier than a happy child, engaged in what they are doing. Making sure they have fun and are enjoying the most enriching and developmental times of their lives is also a top priority of mine. Making sure the parents are satisfied and trusting is also very important to me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have little experience, but plan to be special Ed. certified at the end of my college career.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Was when C (2) finally said my name!! Watching him grow over the past year and being able to witness him become more verbal has been amazing. Seeing L (5) and his school friend J (5) successfully complete this very hard, weird, untraditional kindergarten year was also wonderful and validated and confirmed my passion for teaching.
