A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Collen. I am currently looking for a full time position as my last family has had a change in childcare needs. I'm 28, married, and a skilled career nanny with 5+ years of experience spanning multiple age groups. I have had 4 long term families and many more families that I babysit as needed for. I have experience working with special needs and neurodivergent children. I also have knowledge of different dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, allergens, etc.) I'm pet friendly, a skilled cook and baker and artistically inclined - and love to encourage that quality in kids! I believe patience and thoughtfulness are extremely important and am blessed that they are natural traits for me. I'm happy to tidy up in my downtime. I am CPR and first aid certified as well as vaccinated and boosted. A memory I cherish in my heart is when a little boy I was over night sitting for told me on my last day with him "I hope I never forget you, even when I grow up".

More About Me

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

I worked as an infant teacher at a childcare facility specializing in ages 6 weeks to 12 months and floating with ages up to 5 years old. I have had 4 long term (6+ months) families and multiple as needed childcare families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

We sing songs, do puzzles, read, draw, color and paint!
I like to explore outside, examine leafs and plants and encourage benchmark and age appropriate movement.
I like to teach little ones baking and cooking skills. It’s such a valuable life skill as well as a clever sensory experience!
I make tons of age-appropriate crafts, utilizing every day household items to make something totally new!
I’m great at pretending and coming up with games on the spot!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Patience and safety You can get through any situation with patience! That and safety, everything else is secondary. If you give yourself a moment to think, breathe and come up with a plan, the most stressful situations suddenly become surmountable. Safety is key. That’s why I always keep a close eye on the little ones and make sure to follow up to date best practices when it comes to sleep, mealtime and play.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with autistic and Down syndrome children as well as other neurodivergencies. Very experienced with dietary limitations.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment is always hearing ‘I love you’ for the first time! Secure and positive bonding with caregivers is so important to childhood development. I’m always proud to be a trusted and loved adult in a child’s life.
Another favorite moment was hearing ‘I hope I remember you forever, even when I grow up.’ I was blown away at the self awareness shown by the child. It just goes to show that children understand a lot more than we may give them credit for, so we should strive to make every day special and memorable for them.
