More About Me

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

In addition to babysitting, I have also worked as a Teacher's aide in elementary classrooms and volunteered at my home church's nursery.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love spending time outdoors with kids and focusing on intentional activities for their cognitive and physical growth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure that the kids are having fun, staying safe, and learning, while also intentionally following guidelines the family chooses.

My experience with special needs children...

I currently work for a family whose oldest daughter has Autism Spectrum Disorder. This includes bringing and walking alongside her during her equestrian therapy lessons. I also volunteer in my university's department for students with intellectual disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment recently was when one of my nanny girls who I have been watching for around 9 months asked me for a hug. She has autism spectrum disorder and does not usually initiate physical affection towards people, so this was a really sweet moment.
