More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I also tutored children during the pandemic. I made sure they were up and at them completing their school work on time! I worked with the younger ones on reading and writing skills. I try to make learning fun- as you are only as smart as you want to be!
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Crafts, games, swimming, zoos, ice cream dates, etc!
The most important part about being a nanny...
Is leaving an impact on children of all ages, caring for their mind, bodies, and spiritual growth.
I desire to leave a love for learning and gaining knowledge. I want the kids to know its awesome to have fun- but also know when its time to do some homework to better themselves.
I also want to impact them in the ways of nourishing their bodies, loving the earth, and caring for their family!

My experience with special needs children...
I cared and tutored a child who had some brain delays, he was in an accident as a child.
My older brother is autistic! I grew up with him of course so I carry a soft spot in my heart for those with special needs. In fact I hope I can leave a lasting impact on people with special needs!
