A little bit about me

I am a 56 year old Franklin, Tn mom of two - my daughter is 19 (a college cheerleader) and my son is 22. I currently work in the YPlay childcare at the YMCA. I homeschooled my lower level autistic son from 1st through 12th grade.

I love being around children and value the opportunity to assist in the growth of a child. I prefer to work with children who are being taught to respect others. My children have turned out to be wonderful people, and I take credit in their own amazing success and personalities. Raise a child in the way that they should go and they will never depart from it.

Before working at the Y, I worked part-time as an independent contractor ~ Uber Pro driver, and a Diamond Shopper with Instacart and maintained a 5 star rating. Before marriage and children, I worked for the Nashville Police Dept as a 911 operator and dispatcher for 10 years, and worked as a Shift Lead at Starbucks for 4 years after that.

In my free time, I am a writer and a Canva creator.

More About Me

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

I raised my own two children. I have babysat for family members kids.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, homeschool type activities, playing games, watching shows, building train tracks, going to movies.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping parents when they need it most, being a positive influence in the life of a child is priceless. Proverbs 22:6: "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

My experience with special needs children...

My 22 year old son is lower level autistic, he has a rare eye disorder (nystagmus), he cannot drive a vehicle, I homeschooled him 1st through 12th grade - using primarily workbooks and hands on learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I really enjoy the kids at the YMCA and I am usually able to get them calm down and happy fairly quickly after the parent drops them off. I believe in the power of hugs - sometimes it's what a child needs to feel safe.

Hi!! I'm Hannah Blough, and I would LOVE to come alongside your family and help in any way I can! 💗

I've been a counselor at a technology-free sleepaway camp in New Hampshire, a full time nanny for two families (including a child with special needs), a choreographer for a nonprofit theatre, and a special education teacher!

Most importantly, I want your kiddos to feel safe, loved, supported, and free to be themselves. I'd love to become a trusted part of your family's village!
