A little bit about me

Hello :)
I am a big cousin to my best friends, Oli (6 months old), and Nik (5 years old)
its important to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk.
I am aiming for a degree in phycology, particularly working with kids through art and positive reinforcement, none of this “because i said so/ im older than you thats why/ because i said no”, rather taking the approach to help them understand dangers and restrictions through palatable and age appropriate reasoning.
although i haven’t been paid for all my time babysitting but I'm comfortable and confident with anyone knowing i have at least 100 hours of it under my belt, putting littles to sleep, getting them to eat difficult foods, playing together or participating in parallel play, helping them learn new ideas and concepts.
I am a 20 year old Woman living in North West Arkansas and currently saving up for a car as well as trying to get some paid experience under my name.
i hope you have a lovely day :).

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

teaching and practicing parallel play
building blocks/ lego
sensory toys
learning big words
going on walks or to a park
talking about our day beyond just “it was nice”
learning healthy ways to express ourselves
learning healthy boundaries and teaching dangers that kids should be aware of without scaring them senseless and in a way that is palatable for them
making friends and being safe
exploring in nature
arts and crafts, getting messy and learning how to clean up after ourselves
understanding yes and no
trusting how we feel and listening to our body

The most important part about being a nanny...

making the kids feel seen and understood, and proud and confident in themselves
showing up for them in ways that maybe no one showed up for us.

My experience with special needs children...

mostly autistic children,
allowing them to stim
learning how to comfort them
teaching them healthy boundaries
practicing how to listen to our bodies
understanding yes and no
learning how to self soothe in a healthy way
safe foods
discovering routine
practicing patience and acceptance
parallel play
help with speech and finding the right words for our feelings

The most important part about being a nanny...

when a kiddo randomly says they love me while doing something seemingly menial or when you can tell that they are really enjoying themselves and having fun
letting them hold a little bug/critter and it tickles them
when they throw their heads back and laugh
