A little bit about me

I am currently a student pursuing a degree in Business and Administration with a strong background in child care and development. With seven years of hands-on experience working with children from infancy to preschool age, I am passionate about teaching and supporting young minds. I live with my 14-month-old nephew, I care for him currently along with my mother during the late afternoon. This experience has provided me with valuable daily experience in infant care and early childhood development. I am highly skilled in meal prepping, teaching language development from simple words to early sentences, and tutoring young children in various school subjects. I truly enjoy babysitting and am dedicated to understanding each child's unique personality to tailor my care approach to meet their needs and enhance their behavior. I hold a certification in CPR for infants and children I have received from the Red Cross.

More About Me

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

I have participated in early childhood developmental classes while in school.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

For children aged 1-3, I engage them in sensory play using rice or soft blocks and develop motor skills with stacking toys. I enjoy reading pictures or interactive books to them. For ages 4-6, I encourage creativity with arts and crafts like finger painting and collages. I will play simple board games like Candy Land to help them focus and set up pretend play scenarios like dressing up or running a "store."
Outdoors, I teach 1- to 3-year-olds how to blow bubbles or roll balls. I let them play in a sandbox, splash with water, or go on nature walks to collect rocks and flowers. For 4-6-year-olds, we will do sidewalk chalk art, obstacle courses, or simple sports like kicking a ball. I also do scavenger hunts or bug searches to explore nature with them! These activities promote creativity, learning, and fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is to be sure of any child who may have allergies, keep dangerous objects away from reach, and always consult the parents first.

My experience with special needs children...

I currently have no experience with special needs children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was 18, I was a nanny for my young cousins. They kept saying how much they loved the mousse bottle, mistaking it for whipped cream, so we decided to have some fun and gave them both mohawks!
