Babysitter/Nanny (12+ years)
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Crafts/art, outside games and sports, water play, creating sensory bins, taking children to the park, museum, or zoo.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part to me is being a source of kindness, creativity, and consistent support for the children and families I work with. I know building trusting relationships is essential to being a nanny and I believe it's one of my strongest qualities.
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked in the preschool setting specifically supporting students with special needs (autism, hard-of-hearing, down syndrome).
The most important part about being a nanny...
It's so hard to pinpoint one, but I had such a wonderful time getting to take two boy's I nannied for 6 years to the San Diego Zoo for a day. We saw so many animals, played at the water area, and took photobooth pictures that are still on my fridge today. Getting to create lasting memories with the children I work with has been such a source of joy and inspiration to my life and I am forever grateful to the families that trust me with their babies.
