More About Me

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

Volunteer work with foster children & youth [phone number hidden])
PreK Teacher [phone number hidden])
Works with individuals with various physical & mental disabilities (2020-current)
Volunteer at Summer camps for kids & youth (2016-current)

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

All kinds of arts & crafts, baking & cooking, dancing & music, making puzzles, reading books, going to the park, going to Little Miller's for smoothies
I also believe it's important to devote time to exercising & breathing exercises that help teach children & youth to self regulate. How to effectively get out their energy & then how to help calm their bodies afterwards.
Activity wise, what's important to me is that the child is having fun, feels safe and empowered!

The most important part about being a nanny...

When working with children &/or youth my top priority is to be what they need me to be. Whatever that may be.
The goal is that they are happy and feel safe and empowered.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, OCD, seizures, blindness, physical disabilities.
In my experience children with trauma &/or a history of abuse have special needs of their own. Therefore I also would include that I have extensive training on trauma, how to queen with children who have it & have lots of experience which includes working with children that have experienced &/or are currently experiencing:
The foster system, adoption, PTSD, fetal alcohol syndrome, OCD, parents divorcing, loss of a family member, all forms of abuse, all forms of neglect & more.
Children with such experiences generally require extra care, patience, affirmation & help self regulating. Something which I am fully capable of providing.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment is always when the kids get so excited when they see me & come running for a hug. It always warms my heart

Babysitter Available in Palmer, AK: Elizabeth M.

Hello, my name is Beth but I like to be addressed as Miss Beth to my little charges. I have worked with or volunteered to work with children since I was in junior high ( a long time ago). I love children of all ages and abilities, working in schools as a para educator, a QIDP for Medicaid, a Habilitation Interventionist and a Behavior Interventionist for special needs children. I’m more of a grandma type but with that comes experience and wisdom. I follow CHELP practices, my own acronym.

Patience

Storytelling is a favorite pastime and making chores or homework into a game is a frequent practice. Staying within family guidelines and rules are a “must” for me. I approach my employment as a sacred trust. Children are your most precious possessions and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I would love to speak with you about this possible partnership and adventure.

Cadence L. - Seeking Work in Palmer

Part-Time Nanny Available in Palmer, AK: Cadence L.

Hello! I am currently a student at UAA in the Dental Hygiene program. I have extensive experience working with children, including over a year as a dental assistant in a pediatric office. Working closely with kids has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to create a fun and comfortable environment.
I am seeking a summer position, as my program is rigorous and time-consuming during the academic year but does not run through the summer months. I have lived in Alaska my entire life and truly value the sense of community here. My long-term goal is to complete my degree and continue providing thoughtful, high-quality care to members of my community.
