The most important part about being a nanny...
In my opinion, the most important part of being a nanny is setting the kids up for success. Whether that's teaching them how to regulate emotions, or different names for colors, shapes, etc. Or even generally answering questions (at an age-appropriate level). I think it's so important not to just give general care to children, but then to teach them how to help themselves too so they're not JUST reliant on adults (again to whatever degree is age-appropriate for that particular kid.)
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked with Autistic children before and even had a hand in teaching them the basic vocabulary of American Sign Language so that they could better communicate with myself and his caregivers.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Seeing the kids I nanny take the things I teach them and apply them without me having to direct them.
I teach the kids that I nanny to take a breath to self regulate when they feel a lot of but emotions, not so they ignore those emotions, but so that they can better work through those emotions.
There was a time when I was having a bad day and I was getting really frustrated and the little boy I was nannying at the time very softly and quietly went, "take a breath, take a breath" before taking a couple deep breaths. A couple of weeks after that I saw him do the same for a little girl I was nannying alongside him. It makes me so happy and proud to know that the things I teach are genuinely being understood and then utilized all on their own meaning those lessons stuck. Ah! Not me getting teary while I write this. 🤣 But yeah needless to say these were two of my favorite moments of nannying this little boy.

Babysitter Available in San Marcos, TX: Kim P.
I am a deaf, caring, patient, and responsible person who can communicate through American Sign Language (ASL), speaking, and lip-reading. I have three grown children and one grandson, and all of them are deaf. Being a mother and grandmother has given me many years of experience caring for children and understanding their needs, personalities, and development.
I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, respected, and understood. I enjoy spending time with children, playing with them, helping them learn, and creating a fun and comfortable environment. I am dependable, patient, and attentive, and I would treat every child in my care as if they were my own.
I would also be happy to introduce children to ASL and help them learn simple signs in a fun and natural way. I believe my unique experience can be a wonderful way to help children learn communication, kindness, and acceptance.
