A little bit about me

Hello!

TikaLilly here!

I am a Mama of 5, grandmother of 5, annnnnd I am 55…😁! (Now 56! )

I am an empty nester. My youngest is 18 and almost graduated and living with his best friend cousin at his uncle and auntie's house.

Besides my love for children, I also love and teach Kundalini Yog and am passionate about nutrition.

I am quite active and mobile for my age and am grateful that I can still roll down hills or jump on the trampoline with my grandkids, which was always an extra motivation to stay healthy.

I can usually connect and engage with most ages and personalities of children.

As an aunt, babysitter, nanny, mama, or grandma, I do my best to enjoy the moment and bring light-heartedness to the day.

I encourage reading, laughter, nature, music, dance, creativity, and am happy to support you in your desire to make good food choices for your family.

"Lilly stepped into our daughter’s life when she was three months old and was a full time nanny to her until she was about 15 months old. Lilly was absolutely amazing to our daughter. Lilly was very attentive to our daughter’s needs and took her on walks every day. Our daughter would run up to Lilly with a huge smile on her face as soon as she walked in the door. We chose to have our daughter in a daycare as she got older. However, we still reach out to Lilly all the time since her and our daughter got a long so well. Highly recommend her to anyone."

"Lilly was a live-in nanny and we had 3 daughters then all under the age of 5. Lilly was very loving and creative with the girls. She sang to them and made up games with them, always looking for ways to keep them engaged in activities. We lived in a small neighborhood where there were others kids as well and they enjoyed coming to our house because Lilly was so much fun, which was great for our girls as well. Lilly became part of our family and our girls adored her. Our oldest daughter has the strongest memories of Lilly and always speaks so fondly of those days. My husband and I worked full time and we felt very confident that our girls were well taken care of by Lilly. She was very reliable and personable. She was also very open and shared lots of information with us about what they had done each day. We were all very sad when Lilly left, but we understood that it was time for her to return home."

"Lilly was an exceptional nanny, unlike any other. She holds such a bright light and positive attitude. She was flexible with her schedule, easy to work with and very receptive to the families needs. And she definitely has a gift with kids. Lilly has a gift for connecting with children, playing with them, keeping them engaged all while nurturing AND keeping the house cleaned up along the way! I don’t know how she did it.. I honestly felt like her example made me a better mom. Maybe it’s that she has raised 5 of her own and has grandkids that adore her…. All that experience and being a safe and reliable employee makes Lilly extremely valuable. That being said, she truly became one of the family and my kids still know her as Auntie Lilly! We love her and highly recommend her services."

More About Me

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

I have been a nanny multiple times since high school (and throughout my mama days) and have also provided daycare in my home off and on when my kids were young.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Building forts 😁
(It's been a while)
Going to the park, hikes, walks, story time, cooking, dancing, planting, playing games of all sorts, making up games, or helping them to discover and ignite their passions and strengths.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping the children safe first and foremost.

It is also so important to communicate with the parents often, following their lead and preferences, and then working to support the parents in their children's unique and specific needs, so each child can feel not only safe, but truly seen, nourished, and loved.

I always seek to make a difference in the lives of the families that I get to be a part of and hope to help them unfold to their excellence in some small or big ways.

My experience with special needs children...

I have had limited experience with special needs kids.

However, last year I had a temporary nanny job for a high functioning autistic 11 year old and have some experience with my autistic nephew (a grown man now).

The most important part about being a nanny...

There really are too many.

My present nanny job with "Theadorable", a darling one year boy, has many favorite moments all day as he is learning to speak, run, and even walk backwards. He keeps me in the wondrous world of being present with the little things, like the excitement of seeing a box elder bug.

It has been so wonderful to have the father of the kids of my first nanny job in 1987/88 reach out to me on FB and want to do a zoom call with his kids who are now adults and having kids of their own. They apparently still talk about me and the good times of nanny Tika. 😁🙏💛 (super heart warming!)
