A little bit about me

I love animals and kids. I am a womens basketball player for the University of Texas Southern so working with a lot of different personalities and characters has really helped my own personal development. I believe in spreading love and being outside in nature. I have a baby German shepherd (9 months). I want more than anything to be that loving figure in your child's life that teaches them self confidence, and how to be their best authentic self (with parental consent). Your child will never have to hide who they are nor will they ever have a bland day with me!

More About Me

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

I worked at a daycare for the summer of 2021 and I also babysat my Head Coach's autistic son on the weekends.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Painting (Nails and canvas), being out in nature, reading, spending time with animals (my German shepherds puppy), critical thinking such as word crosses and puzzles, spreading love in general :)

The most important part about being a nanny...

Having patience. And letting children be CHILDREN for the love of God. There will be temper tantrums and there will be frustrating times but every kid deserves someone who's willing to teach them how to conduct themselves in a healthy manner. Trauma is formed at a young age; young children should only be around adults that genuinely care.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked with an autistic 12 year old every weekend for almost a year straight. Requires a lot of patience and someone with a calm demeanor as they tend to suffer from anxiety due to the feeling of being overwhelmed and misunderstood.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When my child (the I was caring for) told me he loved me. It was that moment that I realized this was what I was meant to do. I still cry telling the story.
