A little bit about me

Hello, families! My name is Avery, I am a University of Notre Dame alumna and I am delighted to introduce myself as a dedicated and caring nanny with a rich background in childcare and education. I understand the unique needs of each child and tailor my care to ensure they feel supported and encouraged. As an experienced in-home educator and teacher's aide for virtual schooling, I have honed my skills in providing personalized and supportive learning environments. My time as a substitute teacher at a preschool has further equipped me with the understanding of early childhood development and effective teaching methods. Additionally, I am the proud founder of a non-profit dance program for children with disabilities, where I have gained extensive experience in working with diverse needs. My passion for inclusive and engaging experiences is central to my childcare philosophy. I'm thrilled about the opportunity to contribute positively to your little ones' growth and well-being.

More About Me

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

Full-time nanny for three children aged 3, 5, and 7, where my responsibilities extended beyond traditional care: I actively engaged in fostering their educational development by not only facilitating their online learning but also enhancing their experiences through personalized activities. Dedicated daytime babysitter for a delightful duo, aged 4 months and 3 years old: my focus was not only on routine care but also on providing specialized attention to a nonverbal child on the autism spectrum. Teacher's aide and substitute teacher at a preschool: I emphasized experiential learning and balanced it with traditional teaching techniques, playing a key role in nurturing the children's curiosity and academic growth. Summer camp counselor: entrusted with the well-being and enjoyment of pods comprising 12-16 children. Founded a non-profit dance program specifically designed for special needs children: providing specialized attention & creating opportunities for children with diverse needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am passionate about curating diverse & enriching activities that foster holistic development in children. From engaging in outdoor adventures that stimulate exploration and curiosity to facilitating hands-on learning experiences that ignite their creativity, my approach is dynamic & experiential. I have a knack for designing age-appropriate arts & crafts projects that not only encourage self-expression but also enhance fine motor skills. I seamlessly integrate fun & learning, incorporating educational activities that captivate young minds. Music & movement are integral components of my repertoire, where I leverage the power of rhythm & dance to promote physical activity and self-expression. I am an avid advocate of the magic of reading & storytelling, creating moments that not only expand children's imaginations but also instill a love for literature. I strive to provide children with a well-rounded & stimulating environment that nurtures their cognitive, emotional, & social growth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

First and foremost, the paramount responsibility of being a nanny is ensuring the safety and well-being of the children under my care. Establishing a secure environment is the foundation upon which all other aspects of caregiving are built. Beyond safety, the most crucial aspect involves establishing a nurturing and supportive relationship with the children under my care. Building a foundation of trust, respect, and open communication is paramount. Understanding and responding to each child's unique needs, fostering a safe and stimulating environment, and promoting their overall well-being are central to my role. I prioritize creating a positive and loving atmosphere where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Additionally, effective collaboration with parents to align on parenting philosophies and goals ensures a seamless and harmonious caregiving experience for the benefit of the children.

My experience with special needs children...

I possess a wealth of experience working with special needs children, rooted in a genuine commitment to inclusivity. As the founder of a dance program tailored for special needs children, I not only orchestrated comprehensive curriculum planning but also took an active role in teaching dance classes, fostering a supportive & empowering environment. My dedication extends beyond dance- evidenced by my volunteer work with special needs sports organizations such as Hoops for All & Field of Dreams. Nannying for a nonverbal child on the autism spectrum equipped me with a profound understanding of individualized care & communication strategies. I have further extended my advocacy serving as a keynote speaker at the Stockton University Abilities Fair & promoting ability inclusivity as part of my involvement with the Miss America Organization. My multifaceted experiences underscore my passion for creating a world that embraces & celebrates the unique abilities of every child.
