A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Julia and I'm a 20-year-old resident of Sleepy Hollow, NY looking for a full-time childcare position within about 15 miles of the Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown area. I am also open to taking on a family assistant position! I have three years of prior paid childcare experience with infant-adolescent age groups. This includes 10 months of employment as an infant-prek teacher at two daycares, the rest being: part-time nannying, occasional babysitting and regular sitting for family members. I love childcare because of the joy and pride it fills me with; when I see children achieve goals that they've worked so hard for, it's the most rewarding feeling. I have always loved the creative aspect of teaching and engaging, from music to crafts to reading and games. The safety and comfort of both the children and their families is my top priority. Please message me if you are interested! :)

More About Me

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

I was an assistant teacher at an early education daycare. I worked there for 8 months, taking care of infants through pre-k age groups, I primarily worked with the toddler and preschool age groups; rooms were in ratios, the highest one being 1:8. Some of my responsibilities included: maintaining a safe and comforting environment for both the children and families, working on and assisting/leading lessons and activities to teach foundational skills, meal prep, nap time assistance and potty training. I identified strengths and weaknesses that I had, carving out time to work on improving all aspects of my performance.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I lean towards more creative aspects when it comes to activities, preferring a hands-on approach. Arts and crafts is definitely an activity that I enjoy setting up and doing; I love getting input from the kids, as well as the parents, on what they would like to do/create. I like activities that have children work towards a finished product they can show while also allowing them to personalize what they are creating, making it unique to them. I also like to include music throughout the day such as, listening to interactive/action songs, having dance parties and having it play in the background during activities if they would like. Reading books with them is an activity that I find very important and engaging; I tend to ask them small questions throughout the story as well to further gauge their reactions. I am open to all other kinds of approaches as well if preferred!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I always make sure I establish trust between myself and the family as well as respecting them and their practices. Safety is also of the utmost importance; keeping a close eye on the children and maintaining a safe environment for them to grow, learn, and explore. Creating a bond with the child by making sure they feel heard, special, and cared about is also fundamental in being a nanny.
