More About Me

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

I was a nanny for a 1.5 and 3 year old last summer, and have babysitting experience with 1-12 month olds as well as older elementary children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love spending time outside being active with children and assisting them with arts and crafts. I also love taking kids to the library or on park adventures to share learning experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, being reliable and able to act in times of stress are extremely important. I am first-aid and CPR certified, and have personal experience using the heimlich maneuver, and I think it's crucial to act quickly in circumstances that a child needs medical attention.

My experience with special needs children...

I have a younger sister who experiences frequent fainting spells and occasional seizures,
and have learned the proper way to react and care for children with special medical needs. I have also learned how to communicate effectively and compassionately with special needs children through volunteering with the Special Olympics for middle schoolers.

The most important part about being a nanny...

A 3-year-old I nannied drew a picture for me, showing her and I together, captioned (in gibberish) "Miss Laney happiness"
