A little bit about me

Long-time caregiver. Experience babysitting kids short and long term. Professional experience working with the elderly, professional experience working with disabilities.
College student who also holds a work-study outreach position as an advocate for fellow former foster youth.
Some college-level nursing education, CPR and BLS certified by the American Heart Foundation.
Safety is always the number one priority, but after that I love to celebrate the kiddos (or old folks!) for their individuality.
I'll be someone that they know will listen to them-- whether it's about trouble at school, that just amazing episode of Paw Patrol they just have to tell someone about, or your 82-year-old Mom's favorite story about bumping into Dean Martin at the post office.
I pride myself on being patient, empathetic and understanding the importance of open lines of communication and positive reinforcement.
Always let me know if there are any cultural or behavioral needs I should be aware of!!

"My 8 and 4 year old daughters absolutely love Caidyn! I also have a 9 month old son that she cared for along with the other two recently and I was so pleasantly surprised she is the only non-parent caregiver that was able to care for all 3 children without any problems. I came home to smiling, laughing, well fed kids! "

More About Me

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

I worked part-time as a substitute teacher at Casey's Kids daycare in the Northwest Columbus area.

I have had very extensive babysitting experience. Two long term positions, and periodic gigs/weekends/date nights since I was 12-years-old.

I am the oldest sibling, by 7, 8 and 9 years, which is quite the gap and has lead to lots of...babysitting-type experiences at home.

I have worked in two nursing homes, one as an Activities Aide and one as an STNA, and also enjoy caring for elderly people.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I personally love arts and crafts type things, baking, and being outdoors. However-- it's all about the kiddo and I am open and willing to whatever they are interested in, and like to indulge them by matching their enthusiasm.

The most important part about being a nanny...

After safety, the most important part about being a nanny is understanding that you are being immersed into a family.

The families you work with as a nanny are going to vary tremendously, and it's important to value and preserve these cultures, rules, and habits even if they are different than previous experience or seem strange to you. With that being said, nannying is the opportunity to participate in someone's family dynamic, even if only for short term, and the only way to make that meaningful is offer something unique to bring to the table. I love helping kiddos learn (reading, art, piano, etc) and I love when I'm able to excite the adult family members too (hint: like the Italian family recipe pasta sauce or my peanut butter fudge).

My experience with special needs children...

In school, I was part of a peer support club where I was able to mentor kids with special needs-- primarily on the autism spectrum.
I have worked full-time with adults with cognitive disabilities.
I have, and very well manage, a moderate learning disability so I am able to offer some extra empathy-- even though I am fortunate enough that it doesn't dramatically impact my life on a day to day basis, I like to be open and honest about it, especially when working with children with disabilities because it is helpful to have that sense of comradery.
