More About Me

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

Hill City Montessori
Private families 4+years
My own 2e children (grown and gone now) homeschooled them and found cognitive brain programs for them to excel

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Outside projects that involve nature and animals, Cognitive puzzles that are fun and light up the childrens' neurology, books and songs that are interactive during awake time and peaceful books and song that assist in transitioning to bedtime

The most important part about being a nanny...

I support homeostasis within the family system and love nurturing children’s intrinsic sense of worth.

My experience with special needs children...

Visual processing, Auditory processing, Executive Function, Dyscalculia and Dyslexia.
First hand, my 4 children (grown and gone now) were considered "2e" aka Twice Exceptional = Highly Gifted and having Severe Learning difficulties. I utilized several years in finding cognitive brain programs to reorient their cognition, learned Neurolinguistics that could reach them, found that the maturity rate was 2 to 5 years less, cognitively and that the "collision" of being highly gifted and having severe processing issues affected the neurotransmitters (hitting Dopamine and Serotonin) making it necessary to have holistic support during cognitive brain programs via supplements.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Urban Sitter: I drove from Spout Spring, VA up to Charlottesville, VA to support 2 families with toddlers. The families flew up from TX and FL to see the UVA football game. I knew tha the toddlers would be over stimulated and exhausted. I also knew that the young parents wouldn't have been able to pack all of the cognitive toys and books to support homeostasis during their time in VA. I brought in my own cognitive toys / books and a pumpkin to better help the children go from allostacis to homeostasis.....so, the whole process of watching the toddlers experience balance and fun during the day and a nice transition for bedtime was 1 giant favorite moment.
