A little bit about me

When I was and kid and people would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd say "a mommy". Then my 2 teen sisters had babies while still living at home. I learned a lot during that time. After high-school deciding what I wanted to do was hard. I started working with a family to fill the time and just fell in love with them. I stayed with them almost 4 years and only left due to covid. It wasn't working out finding another nanny job during covid so I started at my then boyfriend now husband's restaurant he manages. I have been a sever/bartender for last 4.5 years and I just think its time to go back to something that makes me happy. I have experience with all ages. I love to get the kiddos off the screens, making something, using imagination muscles and always finding fun ways to help them learn and grow into smart kind decent humans. I'm autistic, very blunt sometimes, sensory sensitive, I like to follow the rules. In no way will it affect my care for your child negatively.

More About Me

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

My sister had a baby when I was 15 and she was still in the house so I was immediately helping care for my niece. My mom and sister would go work in the evening and I'd be home with her and my 8 year old sister. Then she moved out, I moved to my dad's, and my sister who lived with him had a baby. So it was the same thing all over again. So I tell both my nieces that they are my first babies. Now I have 3 nieces and 4 nephews. I love visiting them.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I like doing small "science experiments" of sorts, making slime, growing sugar crystals. I also enjoy crafts,making cards for friends and family, cut and glue projects, color matching crafts. Drawing with sidewalk chalk is always fun, and if you need some super light landscaping done turning pinecone collection into a game is my specialty. My last kids loved the laundry game. I really just love keeping the kids brains active and learning. Trying to get them helping with cleaning and even cooking, doing what they can at their age level. Teaching them how to work together and solve problems both emotional and physical in ways that are safe, healthy, and effective.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Helping teach a new generation of humans how to be decent. After customer service work I have learned most people are really mean and lack an understanding of how people should treat people. Guiding little minds in the kind direction and teaching them to also learn and respect boundaries.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment has to be when I went to Ohio to visit some family and the kids picked me up when I got back. My mom was to originally pick me up but the kids had a different plan. They canceled her and got their mom to help. They had made signs and had a balloon. They were so excited. I loved it.
