A little bit about me

I am a 2020 graduate of Vanderbilt University. I studied child development in college and now work at an outdoor science school in Big Bear during the school year. I love working with children and creating a variety of activities to nourish their creative and intellectual growth. The intersection of my coursework at Vanderbilt and my experiences working with children has given me the opportunity to continuously sharpen my creativity and flexibility while creating a meaningful space for children to learn and express themselves. These skills allow me to continuously notice and even anticipate students’ interests, providing them with engaging materials then seeing their creativity and confidence grow. I enjoy working with children of all ages and families with wide age spreads. I am able to adapt activities so that children of all age groups may participate while simultaneously caring for infants as well.

More About Me

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

I worked at a daycare center during college caring for children 6 weeks to 5 years old. During the summers I nannied, worked at summer camps, and babysat for various families. I now work at an outdoor science school, caring for children on day hikes and overnight in cabins during the week.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing activities with children that help to facilitate their interests and natural curiosities. Whether that be arts and crafts, experiments, or puzzles and riddles, I enjoy helping children grow in their interests. I also like being active with children so I like to do things like going on hikes, bike rides or even just walks to the parks.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is meeting the children and the family where they are. Learning and noticing their needs and helping them when they need it, even if it was not originally discussed with employment, sometimes they might need help with laundry or the dishwasher even if it wasn't previously agreed upon. Meeting the children where they are revolves around their interests and previously planned activities.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with students with ADHD and autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was after I moved across the country for a new job and came home for the holidays. I went over to babysit the children I had nannied the previous year and I was worried that there was going to be separation anxiety with the youngest, as he only just turned 2, and he would not remember me well. When I entered the house he came running up to give me a hug and wanted to show me his room (that I obviously had already seen). Later that day he asked me if I wanted to paint because we always used to paint together when his siblings were at school.
