A little bit about me

I am a recent graduate from The University of Iowa with a Bachelor's of Science in Therapeutic Recreation. I am currently completing an Internship at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago in their inpatient Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Unit. I am seeking a full-time nannying job starting September, 2022. I am fully vaccinated and hold current certifications in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR, AED, and First Aid. I grew a passion for working with kids at a young age, as I grew up known as the "big cousin" amongst many younger cousins. I started babysitting in my neighborhood when I was 13 years old which has led me to acquire almost 10 years of experience. I’ve provided care for infants through young teens, and value a trusting relationship with the families. I also have experience working light educational curriculum into the day, along with meal preparation and housework.
I'm glad you made it to my profile and look forward to connecting with you!

More About Me

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

As the Recreation Therapy Intern at Lurie Children's Hospital, I facilitate 3 RT groups per day for patients ages 4-17 years old. Patients in the unit have diagnoses of mental health and/or behavioral disorders. Through this experience, I have been trained in Comprehensive Crisis Management to safely handle situations where children may become escalated and aggressive.

Additionally,
I completed a preschool practicum where I was paired with a four year old boy, and I got to be his teacher for a semester! I helped him with preschool level curriculum, manners, routines, and much more. I absolutely loved the experience :)

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love taking the time to see what the child truly enjoys and then helping them expand that interest!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Ensuring that the parents feel like their children are safe while they are under my care, and that the children feel safe as well.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve worked with individuals with disabilities since I was in High School and these experiences are what led me to my career path! At Lurie Children's, I often work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I've been able to expand my knowledge of communication techniques, redirection, and de-escalation through this experience.
This past summer, I was able to spend a week at an adaptive camp, providing 24/7 one to one care for my camper who had Autism Spectrum Disorder. This was a great experience where I was able to gain necessary skills for direct supervision of people with disabilities. I want to go back!
