More About Me

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

I volunteered my summer last year working at a camp in Idaho working with children of all ages! I also was a teachers assistant for 2 years in highschool working with 1st graders! Lastly I was a volunteer at my church, leading vacation bible school which included kids ages ranging from preschool- 6th grade!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, building legos, going on walks, playing with toys that they might be interested in, painting/drawing, sensory activities (depending on age)

The most important part about being a nanny...

I would say the most important part about being a nannying is allowing the kids time to open up to you, you are a new person in there life whom they aren’t familiar with. Being able to connect with the kids you care for is a crucial part when nannying. I also think having patience is another important part about being a nannying, reminding yourself that they are just kids, they are learning and growing constantly, so understanding that accidents happen, kids will be kids!

My experience with special needs children...

I worked at a camp in idaho with one of my responsibilities included being buddies with a camper all of whom having some form of disability, I have done this 3 times now and that meant I would care for a camper all week, taking them to get meds, eating with them, doing activities if there choice with them!
I also had the opportunity to babysit a teenage boy who had a form of autism, I babysat him a couple times a week!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when the little girl I spent almost a year nannying for first said my name, she wasn’t to good on pronouncing her words so when she very clearly said my name, it filled me with joy. I went home that evening and received a video from her parents and this little girl non stop was asking for me and clearly saying my name. This was my favorite moment because I could tell I made an impact in her life. I was some she wanted to spend time with.
