A little bit about me

My name is Elif. I am a Massachusetts-certified Infant/Toddler Teacher and a Washington State-certified ESL Teacher with extensive experience working with children of all ages. I worked as an Infant/Toddler Teacher in different schools in Massachusetts. I worked as a nanny with a Connecticut family for over a year. I love working with students of all ages but my most favorite groups are infants/toddlers and preschoolers. It is because they are the most natural, curious, energetic and fun group.
I know how to keep children engaged in meaningful, interesting, and fun activities that help them develop their language, social-emotional, creativity, and cognitive skills. If you are interested in a phone conversation to discuss why I am a good fit for the job, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number hidden] or at [email hidden]. I will be more than happy to answer your questions.

More About Me

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

I worked as an Infant/Toddler Teacher about two years but I gained my most relevant experience for a nanny job during the time I worked for a New Haven, CT family in [phone number hidden] and cared for their 8-month old baby boy for over a year. It was a wonderful experience!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Endless... I love taking them out for a walk, picking leaves, rocks of different shapes and colors, watching birds or butterflies, examining an ant with a magnifying glass(yes, with toddlers!) building a structure with different materials, reading their favorite books together, doing some drawing, coloring, or painting, doing some puzzles, trying a new craft, recipe, science experiment, or listening to some songs and dancing. Exploring new places and objects, and making friends, are all part of our daily lives. These are all I could think of at this moment, but there's always more to do.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is to plan the day filled with engaging, fun learning activities while they feel safe, physically and emotionally and enjoy their time.

My experience with special needs children...

Limited to working with children in a classroom environment while I worked as a sub in public schools.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Each time I see a curious, smiling happy face, or the moment she completes a project and feels proud of herself are all favorite moments.

Alyssa R. - Seeking Work in Needham

Full-Time Nanny Available in Needham, MA: Alyssa R.

Hi, My name is Alyssa Ram and I love reading, exercise, playing piano, and sewing. I have worked with children for 10+ years and have lots of experience working with children with special needs. I am a firm believer in collaborative problem solving. From my work with children with autism I have found that talking to the children instead of assuming what is upsetting them is the best way to gain their trust and have them behave well. I have found that specifically asking what the child needs/wants from me in that moment and then explaining what it is that I need from them allows us to brainstorm solutions to solve the problem. This makes the child feel like they are really part of the decision process and they are often much more agreeable.
