The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a respectful rapport with the child and the family. I love working with infants, toddlers and preschoolers so much. Talking to them through every aspect of their daily routines and play is the most important way to show ultimate respect.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments when working with young children is when children reach the social emotional developmental stage of showing excitement for interests in their favorite toys/activities.

I enjoy nurturing young children's strengths and when you know what they are interested in planning activities and building their self-esteem becomes central to their development.
