More About Me

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

Decades of paid experience with professional families throughout United States. Worked in major cities such as Boston, Manhattan and San Diego. Extensive experience with all ages. College educated, active Respiratory Therapy license, CPR/BLS. Married to local Pharmacist who works at the children's hospital. Animal lover, healthy, very stable and happy lifestyle. Have local references. Have been with a family here in Estero for over 3.5 years. Clean driving record. Prior Air Force Air Traffic Controller. I am kind, energetic, organized and have great communication skills. I create very strong bonds with the children I care for. I have worked over 40 hours a week for years and haven't called in sick in over two years. Highly dependable. I have available my resume, letter of recommendations and current licenses.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

All age dependent
1 month to 1 year: work on milestone development and making sure that they are hitting those monthly milestones. Love Incorporating music and introduction to sensory play.
1.5 years and older: introducing social play via library storytime, playing at a park, going out for neighborhood strolls. Incorporating arts and crafts as well as more sensory and music time. Working on appropriate educational learning like colors, shapes, numbers, sounds of animals, recognition and identifying pictures. Also at this age period you can start to see what types of interest they have developed like cars, dinosaurs, animals, dolls, etc and focus on those.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel blessed to know that I have an impact in who they will become. I love seeing the pure joy that they feel when through their experiences. I take this job seriously and feel fortunate to have these experiences with them.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked full-time with an autistic boy and it was a very rewarding and wonderful experience.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think my favorite nanny moment happened after I left a meaningful position with an autistic child. He was nonverbal when starting the position. Through hard work while working alongside his therapists, parents and himself, he is now thriving in general ed. School and is in 1st grade. He is doing well academically and making a ton of friends. It has been an honor to be apart of his family and his success.

Taylin F. - Seeking Work in Fort Myers

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Fort Myers, FL: Taylin F.

I’m a young and energetic 20-year-old that loves to be around kids. Ever since I was six my mom babysat kids from all ages all the way until I was 16. Growing up I basically had a full house 24/7. I know how to change diapers and feed babies from basically months old. And I even know how to help older kids with tutoring and schoolwork. I’ve always absolutely loved kids and have a passion for them. They truly do make my day and I would love to spend time with them. I may not meet all the certifications that one may be requesting, but I am always more than welcome to work with them and get the required certification that they are requesting if needed. Currently go to school, but it is online so I am flexible with times. I am always up to doing a little bit of housekeeping to spare some time and make the day go a little quicker. I can cook, clean, fold, laundry, bedsheets, and more! I was very busy girl assisting my mom as the oldest!

Bella M. - Seeking Work in Fort Myers

Full-Time Nanny Available in Fort Myers, FL: Bella M.

Hi! I’m Bella! I’ve worked with many different families. Many different ages. The more the merrier! I just love children! They’re so spontaneous and creative!
I raised two crack addicted babies to adulthood, They were definitely a handful!
I know multiple cool down techniques as well as holding techniques. I don’t yell. In fact, I get quiet when a child is trying to get my attention by acting out.I’ve worked with strong willed children, oppositional defiant children, children with ADHD and OCD. I only want to bring love and joy into their lives! Most of the families I’ve watched have been everyday kids! I bring with me a kind heart, a young spirit , and a willingness to play on the floor all day long! I love to paint as I’m an artist. Creating things is what I do best! Baking is another, if for no other reason than teaching them how to help and to do math with the measuring cups. I won’t put them in front of TV or read while they play. I really enjoy their company! Text!
