More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I was interested in caring for little ones when I was still a child myself, including involvement in taking care of my baby brother, and I started babysitting for others before my pre-teen years. I then started teaching violin to young children when I was in high school. As an adult, I continued teaching violin lessons to children part-time, while my full-time job was as a social worker with at-risk families. Meanwhile, I got to know my neighbors' and co-workers' children and became like an aunt to some of them, spending time with them because I enjoyed them and wanted to help their parents. After I got married in my early 30's and had discontinued my formal, full-time employment, I provided some part-time childcare at a daycare center and a home-based preschool, as well as nannied for a little girl, who became sweetly bonded to both me and my husband, as he is also great with kids (i.e. supervision, education, and his quiet, calming nature).
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
- Nature walks
- Reading stories
- General nurturing
- Teaching them & watching them learn
On another note (as there is still space available to write in this block, unlike the others), I want to be upfront about not having current childcare references because for the last 5 years, I regularly traveled with my husband for his work contracts before we moved across country to Battle Ground. Since being here for nearly 2 years now, we have been very focused on growing our small business, during which time I have not had involvement with kids. However, my dad is a pediatrician, and he could confirm my history with children. Also, not only is he a good resource, families in the past have seemed to like knowing that their babysitter/nanny had easy access to a pediatrician.

The most important part about being a nanny...
For the child and family, I think some of the most foundational parts of childcare include a good connection in a safe environment with quality care, support, education, and communication with the parents. In my past nannying, I kept a log of the child's day for the parents to review and occasionally sent pictures for them to have an additional glimpse into their child's day. I value supporting parents who are attentive to their child(ren)'s wellbeing.
As one who is no longer planning to have children of my own, I enjoy the extra special connections with little ones, providing TLC, and watching them learn.
I understand that not everyone is a fit with just anyone, so it would be important to me to meet in person first and see if the fit seems to be mutually beneficial for your family and ours.

My experience with special needs children...
My involvement with special needs children was more through my social work employment, not so much through childcare.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I nannied for a little girl (from the time she was around 10 months old) for over a year. I loved seeing how she bonded with my husband. She had a solid attachment with me too, but his name was one of her first words. Her face would light up when he joined us, and she would cry when he left, including when it was time for us to leave her 2nd birthday party, where her family and other friends were still at her house with her. I loved seeing how my husband cared for her. He was really good about helping with supervision and protection. He would read stories to her and accompany us on outings to the park, library, and such - special times.
