The most important part about being a nanny...
Kids' safety and well-being and good communication with parents.
My experience with special needs children...
I haven't had the opportunity to take care of a kid with special needs but as I did start a major in Psychology in Colombia I had the chance to have some little experience with kids in different scales of autism and Down syndrome
The most important part about being a nanny...
So many... It's amazing how much we can learn from kids.
There was this time I was sitting at the swing with this 5-year-old kid, and she was trying to make a trick on those gymnastic circles some kid's playgrounds have, and she been trying it for a while; and then she felt, nothing terrible but enough for me to immediately check on her. As I asked if she was okay; she stood up, cleaned her knees, and kept trying with lots of determination and of course she made it and with a huge smile and her face, sweet in her forehead and grass on her knees she looked at me and said: "I didn't gave up!! and I made it!". I was so proud...
There was also this time soon after the Disney movie Encanto came out that we learned the lyrics and every time we had a chance we would sing it together; (as I am Colombian this was kind of special for me)
