A little bit about me

I have 15+ years of professional experience with children of all ages from infants to young adults. I first gained experience working with children as a Special Education Para-Educator for the Los Angeles Unified School District and did so for 15 years. I provided academic, social and emotional development support mainly to students with learning disabilities (i.e. autism). A lot of my training was in Applied Behavior Analysis. Shortly, I started babysitting and nannying for families in the LA area and now in the Charlotte area. I strongly believe in language development through reading and socialization. I believe in transparency and team work, essentially contribute to an environment that nurtures young children reaching their full potential! I'm passionate about what I do and in this career you have to be able to have empathy, patience and love kids. I love to travel, and trying new things (I started kickboxing this year).

More About Me

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

I worked for LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) the second largest school district in the nation in special education for 15 years. I also did private tutoring for some years

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love the outdoors and exploring our community. For example, going for walks, the local park or the local museum. I also enjoy art (making arts and crafts, coloring, painting, etc). I also enjoying baking with the kids if age appropriate of course.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a nanny is a big responsibility and you are an extension of the family. You are making a big impact and I take that seriously. Also, it's very rewarding and you have those instances were get to be a kid again and just have fun and be silly.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with limited or non verbal communication. Children that have autism, down syndrome or intellectual disability.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was nannying for a family and their two girls (ages 2 & 4). We were at their farmhouse (they love nature and to walk barefoot whenever they get a chance to which their parents are okay with). So I thought why not join them walking barefoot which I rarely do. We were walking and going to say hello to their horses, we stopped on a patch of grass and they said they were going to give me a pedicure, haha. So they proceeded to put grass on my feet, dirt, and leaves and I
thought it was so hilarious! It was so silly yet something I needed since I wasn't feeling 100% that day. I remembered how to be a kid and in essence they were right about getting in touch with nature and how beneficial that is for children and adults alike.
