A little bit about me

I'm a mom of 5 sons [phone number hidden]), helped raised several girls in my early tweens to 18 yrs. I know how to do hair, play several sports and I have coached with my husband. I have been a substitute teacher and former 2nd grade teacher. I am looking to help a family and share my gifts and skills. I'm a big kid at heart, but I understand the need for structure w/ love. My particular focus is children under 5 yrs, helping to establish a solid foundation. I believe in pushing educational play...everything has a learning element in it. I think children spend a bit too much time w/ screens these days so I like introducing reading, writing, singing and laughter. I love to read with character voice and share the love of reading with young children. I'm the fun yet structured Auntie that will show your child love, help them respect themself, you, others, nature, and more. I know how to diffuse tantrums, engage and motivate. They will be well cared for. I will get 1st aid/cpr certified.

More About Me

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

My own children, cousins that were more like nieces growing up do to the age difference. When I moved from DC, during the summers I visited my aunt (widow)- a 40 year veteran teacher, who had a 2 and 4 year old. I cooked, sewed, drew all her school pictures and murals, cleaned house, washed clothes, ironed, washed and did hair. I was a one-girl band while she worked at summer camp. I also have kept children of friends when needed for a day and extended periods. My house is on the corner in our subdivision, all the children hangout here in the yard. I provide them with water, juice and sometimes snacks. I talk to them about life and their school experiences. Sometimes some of them have come over and played games with my sons and we have cake, ice cream and lunch. All the parents know me and I have had couple events at my home to get to know them. I don't allow any child to be in my yard/home without meeting/knowing the parents and having their contact info.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

drawing, painting, reading, mental games, puzzles, play dough, board games, talking, educational games--age appropriate

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being engaged, aware and understanding what the child is not able to express on their own. Helping them to self-discover and not just tell them everything, but let them be amazed at their own brilliance. Helping the child understand their are frameworks for behavior, but fun is a good thing too. Being available for the highest highs and the lowest lows showing that care and concern that the child knows they are loved regardless and we will work through it.

My experience with special needs children...

helped during some substitute class opportunities

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have not formally held a nanny position, but I have helped to raise many children and my most favorite moment is always getting to know them as individuals and finding out what they like as well as introducing them to new experiences.
