A little bit about me

I am a mom to two kids- 16 & 20yrs. I have worked w/ children/teens for almost my entire adulthood & find it to be incredibly fulfilling. I am currently working w/ infants, but the center I'm working at is closing. I want to continue investing my time into children. I was blessed to be able to stay home w/ my children for my 1st 15yrs. of motherhood & would like to provide the same quality of care to someone else's children. I believe that everyday life is a child's greatest teacher & that is how I raised my children- talking about everything throughout our day. We would go for a walk & talk about colors, count things along the way, talk about what letters words begin w/, etc. I would read to them, sing to them, take them to the park, the zoo, the children's museum. Both of my children ended up in a program for highly gifted students & I believe this foundation of always learning, & making it fun, is what set them up for success. I'd love to provide this type of care for another family

More About Me

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

I was the preschool director at a church for 6+ years, responsible for programming for birth-K. I was the Executive Director of a non-profit that worked with children & families for 5 years. I worked on a residential treatment unit for adolescent girls. I've also been a live out nanny & did a lot of babysitting in my teens and twenties.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading, singing, playing games, coloring, playing with play-dough, going to the park, going to the zoo, visiting the children's museum. Experiences are learning opportunities!

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is valuing the trust that parents are placing in you by entrusting you to care for their precious children and caring for those children as if they are your own. You need to care for the children the way that you would want your children to be cared for were the roles reversed.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's been a while since my last nanny position so I can't think of a specific moment, but it is precious when you've built a rapport & earned the trust of the children and parents you're working for and know you are considered to be a part of the family.
