The most important part about being a nanny...
is being a calm, safe presence for children. This involves listening well, showing empathy, and involving children (as much as possible) in decision making so that they feel they have agency and a voice. However, safety also means having firm boundaries.
My experience with special needs children...
I have cared for a close family friend's child with autism and understand, to the extent I am able to, the unique needs around caring for a neurodivergent family member.
Additionally, as a former respite care provider, I have experience with wheelchairs, epilepsy protocols, and adaptive equipment.

The most important part about being a nanny...
Creating a book with a three-year-old. We went on a walk together and collected bits and pieces of nature then glued and taped them into a book. She was so proud of it! When her dad came home from work that evening, the whole family curled up on the couch and they read it together. Her mom sent me the picture afterwards. The confidence and delight on her daughter's face was priceless.
