A little bit about me

I've been a career nanny for the past 7 years. I love working with children and becoming part of the family in a supportive role. I like to think I am a fun, happy go lucky, nanny with lots of patience and ability to switch between fun pal and authority figure with ease. I've worked with children with different disabilities in the past. I have a clean driving record and am happy to take children to any additional after school activities or appointments. Have Covid vax, have been CPR and First aid certified multiple times in the past, recently expired, willing to re-certify if family would feel more comfortable.

More About Me

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

Before becoming a Nanny, I spent many summers as a camp counselor, caring for middle school children, helping to create safe and fun environment for children to grow in. Throughout high school and college I regularly babysat for family friends, younger cousins and nieces and nephews.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am a firm believer that spending time outdoors is so good for children. I love taking kids to parks, hiking trails and walks around the neighborhood. During covid, the outdoors was a saving grace! I also love taking kids to children's museums, music classes and other classes in which the children are interested/curios about. I enjoy occasionally taking kids out to eat, practicing how to behave in restaurants and having those fun experiences. Indoor activities, with arts and crafts, imagination play, or age appropriate games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of nannying is safety. Keeping the kids safe not only physically but nurturing them mentally as well. Knowing that home is a safe place and the adults in their life are put there to protect and love them.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with a child that suffered from albinism, which meant taking the utmost precautions whenever going outside. Finding outdoor activities that kept him safe while having fun.

One child was on the spectrum and learning how to live and thrive together. Discussing social cues and social norms. Learning acceptable behaviors. Nurturing interests and hobbies, allowing child to grow in their curiosities. I learned how much structure, and routine are important. How honest, to the point answers were valued.

worked with another child who was still unable to speak. Learning how to communicate in our own way, taking him to Speech therapy classes and practicing at home.
