More About Me

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

I was a Daycare teacher for 2 years at La Casa De Mi Abuela here in Roswell. I have learned a lot in those past 2 years. I have also taken care of others kids as well through out the years. If you count it I have about 20+ years of experience.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Here’s a short list of activities I enjoy doing with children:
1) Arts and Crafts: Engaging in creative projects like painting, drawing, or making simple crafts helps children express themselves and develop fine motor skills.
2) Outdoor Play: Activities like playing tag, going to the park, or having a picnic encourage physical activity and exploration of nature.
3) Storytime: Reading books together not only fosters a love for reading but also enhances language skills and imagination.
Cooking and Baking: Involving children in simple cooking or baking tasks can be fun and educational, teaching them about measurements and healthy eating.
4) Music and Dance: Singing songs and dancing together is a joyful way to encourage movement and rhythm while having fun.
These activities not only entertain but also support children's development in various ways!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building a trusting and nurturing relationship with the children in your care. As a nanny, you step into a role that often resembles that of a parent, which means you need to genuinely love children and understand their unique needs and behaviors. This connection allows you to create a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive emotionally and developmentally.
Additionally, being a good role model is crucial, as children learn from your actions and attitudes. Your influence can significantly shape their behavior and outlook on life. Ultimately, the ability to foster a loving, stable, and engaging atmosphere is what makes the role of a nanny so impactful and fulfilling.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience working with 2-year-old special needs children has been both rewarding and enlightening. Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to provide care and support to children with various developmental challenges. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in meeting each child's unique needs.
I focus on creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe and understood. I have learned to recognize that all behavior is communication, which means I pay close attention to non-verbal cues and emotional expressions. This helps me understand their needs better, whether they are feeling overwhelmed or excited.
I also work closely with parents and specialists to ensure that I am aligned with any specific strategies or goals set for each child, fostering a collaborative approach to their care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One memorable nanny moment I had with my 2-year-olds was during a sunny afternoon at the playground. We were playing on the slides, and one little girl, who had been shy at first, suddenly let out a joyful squeal as she slide down the slide. Her laughter was infectious, and soon the other children joined in, creating a chorus of giggles. It was a beautiful reminder of how simple moments can spark pure joy and connection, and it warmed my heart to see them all so happy and engaged together.
