More About Me

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

Hi, I am a professional Nanny with over 8 years of paid experience. I have experience with children aged 6 months to 12 years. I have worked in a daycare as a Toddler/Preschool teacher. I specialize in the toddler and preschool age group because it is what I have worked with most of my career. I know First Aid, CPR and Choking. I am full of energy and very athletic so I can keep up with children. I don't give your children screens unless it's for schoolwork. Instead, I engage them in many different types of play, sometimes me and my kids will make our own games. I am an expert on food allergies and diets. I love children I always put their safety first and protect them like if they were my own. I am also happy to do any extra chores like packing lunches, homework help, bath time, Cleaning, Laundry etc. I have amazing references that would be happy to make a time to talk with you. I am also willing to travel far. Hope to hear from you soon.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Top 4 most important things:
First: Keeping Children Safe and Loved. Then happy. It is better for a child to be furious with you and safe. Then happy and jumping off the bed head first.
Second: It is really important to show affection to the kids you take care of. Always let them know that you love them and that you are there to help them and keep them safe. It is important to hold, hug and kiss your children especially if they are sad, hurt or scared.
Third: Playing with them as much possible. I have seen so many other Nannies sit on the sidelines and look at there phones or they give the children screens, its disgusting! We need to be playing with the children we care for unless we are doing chores, taking a lunch break or if there is an emergency.
Fourth: Don't ever back down if the child is being unsafe, disrespectful, not listening or if their having a tantrum. We need to be consistent and strict when it comes to safety, respect and good listening.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I don't have a favorite but here's one. I moved to Tonasket 4 months ago. When I used to live in New York where I grew up and lived most of my life I babysat for two boys ages 2 and 5. I especially love these boys because of how affectionate they are. Still visit them to this day and keep in touch with them. Anyways we went on a long trip to a massive playground with massive slides and half of the playground is a sandbox it was epic! And on the way back on the bus the 2 year old was sitting on my lap and the 5 year old next to me. They both fell asleep on me and I cuddled them. It was a loving and precious moment after a long adventurous and epic day at one of the best playgrounds we have been to. And we have been to a lot of playgrounds!
