A little bit about me

Hello! my name is Journey. I have always had a passion for teaching and nannying. I also have a brother who is 8 years younger than me who I found myself responsible for in times where the parents were busy with work! I have a LOT of experience with children and will always make sure your child/children are both safe and happy at all times. I want to be both a friend a responsible caretaker to your child/children! I moved to New York about 2.5 year ago. I am always down to meet for a cup of coffee so that I may meet you and the child to make sure it would work for everyone.
I also have extensive knowledge of Montessori teachings.

More About Me

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

I grew up with childcare at my home for children ages 0-3 starting at age 8. I started helping from a very young age, became the assistant teacher at the Montessori childcare, and began officially babysitting children when I was 14.

I also volunteered at a summer camp for three months where I helped to watch over young 60 children and helped teach them academics while also doing fun and safe activities or field trips.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am always down for any fun and safe activities both inside and out from running around playing games outdoors to being orderly at home while also having fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is not only making sure your child is getting the care they need, but are safe and have a friend! I strive to be someone your child can rely on but also the parents!

Children with Autism

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite memory over my time helping children is while I worked at the childcare this one young girl had grown very attached to me as I had spent a lot of time with her while she transitioned in and got used to being away from her parents while they went to work. She had quite a strong reaction when her parents left which had left them feeling stumped. But one day when the parents came to get her she actually was refusing to leave unless I came with her! I walked her out to her car while having a nice little conversation about cats and buckled her into the car seat. I explained to her I couldn't come with her but I would be right here in the morning waiting for her arrival so that we could play, but after she got a nice dinner and some sleep. She got very excited and then was all of a sudden in a rush to get home! The smiles from her and her parents that day warmed my heart.
