A little bit about me

I am looking for a summer position before I start a hospital position in the fall! I am a 26 year old woman from Portage County. I have been a substitute teacher for the past year, but I would much prefer a 1-6 child ratio to 1 caregiver than a 25 student to 1 teacher ratio! I am a BLS Provider (First Aid and CPR) and I have experience working with children with disabilities.

More About Me

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

I have a sister and brother who are 6 and 8 years younger than me, so I was basically born to be a babysitter! I volunteered in my church’s nursery 1-2x/month (ages 2-5) from 7th-12th grade. I volunteered at a summer camp for kids and adults with special needs 2x/summer. I have a bachelors and doctorate degree, but I am feeling a bit burnt out within my field. The past year I have been a substitute teacher in Portage County because I love working with school aged children!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Outdoor: Nature walks, playgrounds, parks, playing in the backyard, swimming (if a lifeguard is present, just for my peace of mind).
Indoor: Reading (I love local libraries!) arts and crafts, legos, blocks, board games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

-being patient and understanding to the child
-making sure they have a fun and engaging time even while their parents are at work
-keeping them safe at all times
-demonstrating to the child’s parent that I am a trustworthy, safe, and kind individual to leave their child with

My experience with special needs children...

I am comfortable caring for and playing with children with special needs! I am good at making up modified activities for kids that use wheelchairs or walkers, and I understand that many special needs children have specific dietary needs that should be followed. I have the most experience with children with cerebral palsy, autism, adhd, and other developmental delays. I am not as familiar with disabilities that cause strong negative/emotional outbursts. As a substitute teacher I gained experience working with children with ODD, but I would still have much to learn if I were to sit for a child with that condition.
