A little bit about me

Hello! I go by K & I'm 31. I'm a big time animal/nature lover, an aunt to three incredible boys, a musician, & an avant gardener. I have cared for children all through-out my life. I started out helping in the nursery at church as a young person. Once I was old enough to babysit on my own, I did that frequently through-out my teen years, nannying for a number of lovely families into my twenties.

I have spent the last 6 years of my life more focused on job experience that lends to my future as a farmer. But as the summer comes to an end, I find myself ready for a break from the demand of manual labor. Spending time with kiddos has always brought me joy. I think it is so important to encourage them to use their imaginations & share wholesome experiences with them. I'm not a fan of screen time for kids, I'd much rather facilitate creativity & curiosity. Our children deserve enrichment that feeds their minds & overall well-being.

More About Me

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

I worked at a children's museum in my early twenties. I specifically manned the arts & crafts room & taught kids how to use power/hand tools. I also was the musician for a class called "Tot Time" that provided enrichment for babies & toddlers.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Finding fun crafts to do together is always a good time. Or making a fun treat in the kitchen. Anything that promotes creativity is a win for me. Spending time outside is my favorite though. Nature walks, playing sports, riding bikes, or going to a nice park to play. Allowing them to take things in at their own pace. Play time is very important because it helps children to regulate their systems, so I keep that in mind when we're looking for something fun to do.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe creating a safe space for children to be themselves in is one of the most important parts of being a nanny. When kids feel safe they create positive & formative memories. It's our job as adults to preserve that environment for them to grow in.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for a hand full of kids/young adults with special needs or physical handicaps. Specifically children with autism or in wheel chairs.
