A little bit about me

I am a young empty-nester and mother of two young adult children that live independently. I am college educated with 20+ years of professional work history. I am ready to re engage my time and energy supporting young ones (who I miss seeing in my daily life), and enjoy being part of their discovery of the world. I value working with young ones on patience, a (reasonably) low stress home environment, learning effective coping and communication habits, creativity, reading, education, and time in nature. I am comfortable with all ages. I love animals but am severely allergic to cats, and am less comfortable around big dogs (especially those that growl, jump, or bite).

More About Me

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

Parent of two young adult children
Aunt to 7 nieces
Have volunteered and tutored with elementary/middle/high school students, English as a second language, and hosting exchange students.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

All forms of discovery: books/reading, art/puzzles, make believe/ acting, music and educational shows, and making life fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a good example. Consistency, care, and being structured, but not rigid. Kids need some freedom to explore and discover, balanced with predictability, stability, and trust.

My experience with special needs children...

My son has some very mild sensory/autism attributes, and I learned to support him by understanding how he sees the world, limiting sensory overload, routines, and patience. I believe all people are special just how they are made. I do not have professional training or experience with moderate to strong levels of interventional needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When kids play make believe, or tell me a funny story.
