A little bit about me

I've been working as a nanny for 10.5 years now! I have experience with kids of all ages, newborns up to 15 years old, experience with twins, and experience with kids who have special needs.

I have a 2.5 year old bonus daughter as well and I've been involved her whole life, helping her reach every milestone. Every child is different but I was proud to have her taking her first steps the day after she turned 9 months old! She had a lot of 1 on 1 attention with us due to covid and that is how I am with each child I work with. Always doing research on things they could be working on and learning. She knows how to count to 10 and knows all of her ABC's (although she gets confused right around the "LMNOP" part haha)

I would also be very interested in working in a nanny share position if you know of another family seeking childcare. It will reduce the hourly rate per family, about 2/3 my usual rate (rate depends on the family, # of kids and additional responsibilities)

More About Me

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

Right before I started working as a nanny I worked in an at home daycare for a few months. I learned a lot about safety and choking prevention. I was also CPR and first aid certified, which I'm working on renewing.

I also worked in the child center at a gym for about a year.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting the kids out of the house if there's plenty of free-time. Going out for a walk, to the park, splash pads, the zoo, and to the pool! Or there's the kids clubhouse, get air, Haven kids center, etc.
I'm always looking for places to take our toddler so maybe I'll discover even more places! (I've only been here a year so I'm still finding new places)

I'm great with keeping young ones on their nap schedules even when I take them on outings.

When we're home, I love setting up age appropriate activities for them. Painting, finger painting, play doh, sidewalk chalk & other crafts. I find toddlers love stickers too and it's great for their fine motor skills so I'm always stocked up on fun stickers.

I love helping the kids make handprint cards for birthdays, mother's day/Father's day etc. I have a running board on Pinterest where I save my favorite activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Taking care of the kids as the parents would (or as close as I can get!) It's great being able to have a nanny care for kids in their own home and having the flexibility to take them out and have fun as well as staying in and thinking of fun things to do with them. Keeping them engaged and keeping up with milestones.

My experience with special needs children...

I have 3 younger siblings who have special needs.

My brother is 5 years younger than me and he has down syndrome. He's non-verbal but understands and has his own way of communicating (the school system didn't keep him on the same communication education so he can verbalize a tiny bit, but mostly communicates via simple sign language)
We adopted my younger sister who is a month younger than my brother. She was born very premature and under developed. She's non-verbal and doesn't communicate very well but is semi self-sufficient.
My youngest brother is 13 years younger than me and he has Asperger's and ADHD. He's very high functioning, he was just a little delayed with taking and was always very active

The reason I'm mentioning my siblings is because I did a lot to help my parents with them growing up, I was considered the second mom. I've always been very maternal and these guys taught me so much patience.

I've also worked with several children who have autism across the spectrum

The most important part about being a nanny...

Always when the babies can say my name for the first time and whenever I can help them learn something new

I've worked with so many families, it's difficult to think of a single moment but one funny moment that I can think of is one time I took the kids (5, 2.5, & 2.5) through the Starbucks drive through for a coffee and some cake pops for the kids and I pull up to the speaker and one of the twins rolls his window down and asks the lady for a cheeseburger 😂
