A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Faith, I’m 22 years old and I come from a big family with eight siblings. I’m right in the middle, so I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life! Growing up in such a busy household taught me patience, adaptability, and how to connect with lots of different personalities.

In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, art, visiting aquariums and libraries, cooking, and baking! I’m a pretty creative person and love finding little things to do and explore. I also really enjoy animals and spending time with the people I’m close to.

More About Me

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

I’ve been working with kids for around 7 years now and have gotten to work in a bunch of different settings! I’ve been a nanny, live in nanny, babysitter, daycare teacher, substitute teacher, and have also done companionship/caregiving work. I’ve worked with lots of different ages, but toddlers are definitely my specialty. ☺️

I’m also totally happy to help out around the house! I actually really enjoy cooking and cleaning, so I’m comfortable helping with that. I’m also open to doing a little more if that’s something a family needs.

I’ve also taken Child Development 1 & 2 and Child Education, so I’ve got some classroom learning behind the hands on experience too!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing activities that are fun, interactive, and keep kids engaged! Some of my favorites are going on walks, playing at the park, building forts, playing hide and seek, dancing, doing arts and crafts, reading books together, and interactive learning games. I’m also not afraid to get on the floor and get my hands dirty by playing with them!

I also really value independent play. I like finding a healthy balance between giving kids the interaction they need and helping them learn that it’s okay to be bored sometimes, entertain themselves, and explore independently. I try to keep everything developmentally appropriate for their age and individual needs.☺️🤗

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me the most important part of being a nanny is building a strong and healthy relationship with the child you care for. Trust and consistency are the foundation for helping a child learn and grow. When a child knows they can rely on you it gives them the safety to explore, learn and develop.

I also think building a relationship with the family as a whole is a necessary part of nannying. Good communication, trust and being able to work together all matter. A nanny becomes a pretty important part of a family’s day to day life, so I think that connection with the parents is just as important as the connection with the child. ☺️

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with kiddos who need a little extra support, including autism, ADHD, anxiety and medical needs like seizures, allergies, asthma, arthritis and autoimmune conditions. Specialty care is something I’m really comfortable with, and I’m always happy to learn what works best for each individual child. ☺️

I’m also very mindful of cleanliness, germs and contamination, especially when health concerns are involved. I prioritize a safe and healthy work environment, so I stay home when I’m sick and ask that families do the same when the child or household is sick. That way we can help avoid passing illnesses back and forth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was in high school one of my mother’s colleagues wife had a baby girl named Ella. I would take care of Ella every week while her mother was working as a newborn. One day this last spring, they were visiting for dinner and Ella had clung to me the whole time and without thought refused to go home! Because of my interactions with her during her early years, once she had grown she and I still maintained a very deep bond that cease to dissipate to this day. It holds a happy place in my heart to be such a big piece in her childhood. I am very grateful for the experience of learning and being her nanny.
