A little bit about me

I am a 32 year old married woman and former engineer. Several years ago, after learning that I am barren, I changed career focus from computer science and engineering to psychiatric nursing and children. Over these last several years, I have worked as an educator, a human resources director, an administrative assistant, and am currently working as a nursing assistant.

My hobbies have persisted from childhood wherein I took a liking to carpentry and home improvement, sewing and clothing design, jogging, and literature. Recently, I have picked up song and dance.

People describe me as calm, liking to plan ahead, formal, gentle, and not a rulebreaker. My dishes are well attended at potlucks. My home is clean. I am not an introvert. I love and am loved by my family. My spouse and I have been together since 2015.

Thank you for reading. If you believe your children and I may be a tidy match, I would appreciate our discussing over lunch.

-Mae

More About Me

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

Former engineer, private educator, nursing assistant.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am trained to facilitate a number of recreational activities. I enjoy most any of them, provided the right people are involved; but I do have a preference for those that are unlikely to make a huge and uncontrollable mess.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Good intentions. Most things can be bought, but good intentions cannot.

My experience with special needs children...

I am a psychiatric nursing assistant specializing in the care of children, particularly with children aged 9-17, with those who are "gifted" and with those having special needs.

Currently, I teach those with special needs, primarily children between the ages of 12 and 18. I used to teach in the broader sense, both in public and private sectors: in public schools as a substitute teacher and then as a teacher's assistant; and in private as a private instructor, sometimes for large workshops, but mostly on an individual or "small group" basis for gifted children in primary or secondary school, and for university students or "continuing education" adults.

My first degree was in engineering. I am now pursing a doctorate in business psychology. After I complete my studies, I plan to open a hybrid boarding-school/nursing-home.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There was a child in my class who was being bullied for eating apples. One day, I brought in a tray of apples, all cut to resemble ladybugs. The children loved it so much that the bullied child began to receive a lot of positive attention from his peers for his like of apples and other fruits.

I want more than simply a safe space for your little, but one of expression, creativity, imagination and growth! I go above and beyond to make sure your little feels appreciated and encouraged.
