A little bit about me

I've held many childcare positions over the past 30 years, including preschool teacher and nanny. I started babysitting at age 11, and I still love it! I am currently seeking occasional babysitting work, primarily in the evening or overnights.
As a mature adult, I relate easily to the demands of parenthood, and I want to give your family a sense of ease and stability. I am responsible, gentle yet firm, empowering, and present. I've been described by others as compassionate and having the patience of a saint.
I am experienced in newborn and infant care, and I have also worked as a live-in overnight nanny. I've familiarized myself with childhood development and I enjoy teaching life skills in a Montessori style.
I lead with empathy, intuition, and strong instincts in my caregiving. I see myself as your extension, and I would love to know your parenting philosophy.

More About Me

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

Lead teacher at MY Gym, teacher at Tutor Time Daycare, Camp Counselor at Stony Brook Summer Camp, Manager at Just Fabulous birthday party center, Sunday School and VBS teacher.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to explore the yard and teach children about nature, take walks, play in the park, play games, board games or imaginary games, read books, sing and dance, practice counting and the alphabet, arts and crafts, baking or cooking, any practical learning, building blocks or Legos.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Primarily keep the children safe. To care, nurture, inspire and teach in accordance with the parents' philosophies. Be responsible, honest, punctual and reliable. Be an example of strong character.

My experience with special needs children...

I have been a nanny for 2 children with Autism and OCD. There were multiple children attending My Gym who had special needs. When I attended church as a teenager I volunteered with the special needs group and the deaf group weekly. At the nursery there was a young child with cerebral palsy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It is so hard to pick one! I have so many special memories.

One was when I was a live in nanny in Long Island for a Policeman. He had twins who turned 1 in springtime. We took them outside to walk on grass for the first time and their faces were priceless! They were so cute and we couldn't stop laughing.

One of my most rewarding memories was when I was working with a challenging brother and sister case. The parents warned me when bringing me in that their children didn't get along with each other (at all).
After getting to know them a bit, I created a live action game with the boy's action figures and the girls dolls ..I led the team on adventures and invited them each to take part in playing characters. The parents were thrilled because the game brought the two of them together and they ended up playing the game with each other all the time! It changed the course of their relationship to this day.
