A little bit about me

I have a 7 month old baby. I would prefer to bring her with, and she’s very low maintenance and has her own chair that she sits in most of the time. If I cannot, I could send her with a sitter as a last resort, but it is not preferred due to her age and schedule. I have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, grade schoolers, middle schoolers, and disabled adults. I am first aid and cpr certified, I have an insured vehicle, and am licensed. Households that have children with disabilities, pets, and multiple children are more than welcome. I am more than willing to play outside, go to appointments, participate in school activities, help with homework and light housework, go to the park, make meals and snacks, or walk dogs. I’m definitely a hands on sitter or nanny. Please reach out!

More About Me

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

I was a caregiver to a 74 year old female stroke patient for 2 years with her 11 year old autistic son. This was in-home and full time. I handled meds, homework, baths, mealtimes, doctor’s appointments, addiction prevention, and her physical therapy at home. This was 24 hour care for both of them.

I nannied a 2 year old boy for just over a year. This was in-home, 24 hour care. We played games, went on walks in the stroller, read books, and did bath time. I was in charge of meals and bedtime as well.

I babysat a 3 and 5 year old together for 2 years. I helped clean, did schoolwork, handled mealtimes, and did a few overnights as well.

I was a full time babysitter for a 1 year old boy for 7 months while I was in high school. We did breakfast, then played outside until lunch, after I made lunch, he watched a movie, then a 30 minute nap time, followed by indoor play time, then a snack. Then his parents got home.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor activities include (but aren’t limited to): Reading, movies, drawing, puzzles, board games, homework, arts and crafts, dolls, dress up, video games (within parental limits), baking (if allowed)… etc.

Outdoor activities: Walks, play-pretend, fort building, trips to the park or other places, sports, pool or beach time (if applicable), reading, etc.

There isn’t much I won’t do unless it is unwanted by the parents.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure that it is a convenience for the parents, while also ensuring that the child gets the best care physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My experience with special needs children...

Autism, severe adhd, defiance disorder, and various learning disorders.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Playing “attack the monster” with my 2 year old nanny kid. I would crawl away, while he chased after me with a pool noodle to attack me with. Then I would announce that I was ‘on the attack’, “roar”, and chase him to catch him. If I caught him, the game was over, but if he evaded me, we would play another round. It always ended in giggles and was a great way to wear him out before nap time.
