More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
5 summers working full time inclusion support at Arlington County Therapeutic Recreation. 8 Years of full-time work as a classroom assistant in Montessori schools. 4 years directing K - 6 after school program.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Crafts! I don't mean in a "hand print turkey" sort of way. I'm morally opposed to presenting children with an outcome and having them follow set steps. Rather than discrete projects, I teach open-ended skills. Watercolor painting and embroidery are my two favorites, for example. Diverse application of a base set of skills promotes problem solving in a way that working through defined steps to a defined outcome does not.
The most important part about being a nanny...
To love the child for who they are (always) and to be having fun right alongside them (much of the time)
My experience with special needs children...
I'm diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. My mission is to be the person I needed as child...but that doesn't stop at ASD and ADHD! Beyond common developmental disorders, I have experience supporting children in need of a wide range of emotional and behavioral support. My central belief is the importance of building up the good in children instead of trying to crush maladaptive behaviors, as often their joy and self-esteem becomes collateral. "If you can't walk inside we're leaving the museum" vs. "I see your body has a lot of energy! Let's go do jumping jacks together in the courtyard before we explore more".
The most important part about being a nanny...
"Look Ms. Grover! My painting is organic!" - nine year-old girl, on her water color painting created with rain runoff she had collected from the gutter

Babysitter Available in Arlington, VA: Nurhayat Ç.
Hello, this is Nurhayat. I live in Arlington, VA. I am a patient, positive, and bilingual 28-year-old with 10+ years of childcare experience. I have an International Relations degree from my home country, Türkiye, and I have been working with children since high school. I am currently taking care of three adorable children, ages 2, 5, and 6.5. Due to their grandmother moving in with them in two months, I am looking for a new opportunity. I am a planner and a multitasker, and it brings me a lot of joy to be around children and support them as they learn, grow, explore, and enjoy every moment. I believe one of the most important parts of childcare is providing a safe and stable environment while keeping things fun, engaging, and making sure children feel heard and cared for. I am also willing to help with additional tasks. I have references that I would be happy to provide. I have a valid work permit and my own car.
