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

In addition to working as a full-time nanny and housekeeper for private families in Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria, I also cared for children within home environments and served as a volunteer at a children's Sunday school at my church. My roles involved creating daily routines, supporting academic learning, and fostering a safe, nurturing space where children could thrive.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in creative indoor activities like arts and crafts, storytelling, and educational games. Outdoors, I love nature walks, sports, and obstacle courses to promote social, cognitive, and physical development while ensuring a fun, safe environment.

My experience with special needs children...

While I do not have direct experience with special needs children, I am patient, adaptable, and committed to learning. I am confident in my ability to provide compassionate care, follow guidance from parents and specialists, and create an inclusive environment where every child feels supported and valued.
