More About Me

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

I babysat for years as a teenager and had my own baby in 1998. She is now a photographer for the Register and starting a masters program in January.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I volunteered for the United Way for a couple of years reading to four year old kids just before the pandemic. I think helping kids learn to read, learn numbers, colors, thinking skills, patterns etc. is very important. Listening and singing to appropriate music, cause and effect, laughing, stimulating senses and feelings are important.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is the safety and security of the children. Parents should feel comfortable leaving their children with a caregiver.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for people with disabilities for over thirty years. Most of the time was with adults but children with disabilities need similar care as other children, patience, understanding, joy and care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I loved raising my daughter, seeing her grow and learn. I like to encourage independence as appropriate to see their confidence and self esteem grow.

Hi everyone! 💕 I’m looking to nanny a couple days a week and would love to find a family who needs some extra help!

I’m a mom myself and have 3+ years of experience nannying and working with children in preschool settings. I also have experience working with children with special needs and have an ASL background, so I’m comfortable using ASL with children who are Deaf or hard of hearing or incorporating it into everyday activities.

I’m CPR certified and comfortable driving, so I’m happy to take kiddos to activities, appointments, the park, etc. I can also help with cooking dinner, light cleaning, laundry, and keeping the kids entertained and cared for throughout the day.

I’m looking for a couple days a week but am open to discussing full time and am willing to drive to you. If you or someone you know is looking for a reliable, caring nanny, feel free to message me! 😊
