More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have been a professional Teacher and Child Care Provider in Florida for the past 15 years. I've worked with children in Pre-School though 12th grade. I have taught as an English teacher, teaching English as a second language. I am CPR certified, a non-smoker. I have over 10 years of experience in working with children who are special needs. I managed my own afterschool program for 10 years. I maintain a clean driving record. I am also a cat owner, so I do not mind being around pets.
I am very loving, patient and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. I am also a tutor so I can help with homework. Babysitting and being a nanny is something I really enjoy doing because every day is different and it’s amazing to be a part of a child life while they are learning and growing as a person.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy indoor and outdoor activities. I love the arts. Arts and crafts, music and dance, playing instruments. I also like to do simple cooking activities with children ages 5+.
The most important part about being a nanny...
What matters to me as a nanny is that I have a genuine love for children and to be trustworthy. It's also important to understand child development, the importance of being able to understand and to have compassion.
My experience with special needs children...
I have cared for children with special needs ranging from ADHD, Autism and Hearing/ Vision impaired.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I was potty training a 2-year-old child and he would refuse using the small toddler potty his mother had purchased for him. So, after the second day I purchased a toddler toilet seat and stepping stool. Let's just say he was more excited about using the big toilet then his potty.
