A little bit about me

I am an Arizona native who, from a very young age, developed a true love for babies. I had to start with dolls, of course, but as soon as I was able, I began babysitting every chance I got. I graduated from babysitting my teacher's children after school to nannying part time as a young adult. I am very involved in my church. I serve in the nursery every Sunday, help in the kitchen during events, and even fill in for the receptionist when needed. I have had the privilege of serving many young families by loving and caring for their children whenever a need arises. I have a sincere desire to be a blessing to others and I enjoy being useful. I also love animals. Whenever an opportunity is presented, I jump at the chance to pet-sit! I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, crafting, reading, laughing, and dog-training.

More About Me

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

▪︎ I nannied part-time for a family with a 2- and 5-year-old for about a year.
▪︎ I was a part-time nanny to the infant son (2-10 mo) of a friend who needed to work.
▪︎ I worked at Thompson Ranch Elementary as a Special Education Instructional Assistant for 3 years. I worked one to one with a boy with autism in both a general and a self-contained classroom.
▪︎ I worked with a 14 y.o. young lady with ASD and other developmental disabilities for over 9 years. I provided basic services such as bathing, dressing, meal prep, and housekeeping. I also worked with her on educational, safety, social, and daily living skills. I provided transportation to doctor appointments, stores, restaurants, parks, etc. I often stayed overnight and cared for household pets.
▪︎ Most recently, I nannied full time for a sweet couple with a 3 m.o. for 1½ months. Unfortunately, this position ended prematurely due to the husband's unexpected job loss.
▪︎ I also serve in the nursery at my church every Sunday.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading to children. I enjoy educational activities, puzzles, board games, tea parties, playing make-believe, and exploring their creativity with various crafts. When the weather permits, I am a big fan of being outdoors. I also enjoy taking children to fun/educational places such as the Science Center, museums, zoos, parks, and movies.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I consider it a privilege to support families while they are busy working to raise up children with great care and provision. It is so important to establish a foundation of trust and respect in order to provide peace of mind. There are unavoidable challenges in life when assistance is helpful, even necessary (at least now and then). If I am able to be useful to someone, then I can enjoy what I do, knowing that I am making a difference.

My experience with special needs children...

I have 12+ years of experience working with special needs children in home as well as school settings. I am adept at supporting a structured environment, giving a sense of security and purpose, while creating fun activities which aid individual progress at an appropriate pace. I believe it is important for children to develop some level of independence (as they are able), in order to establish a sense of confidence and self-worth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have too many favorites. Some are too personal or difficult to explain. But, in general, I love witnessing those developmental moments in a child's life when something (albeit educational or physical) finally clicks and they experience that sweet triumph of success or clear understanding. Those moments are priceless!
