Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Process Art: Setting up an art station for kids to explore materials (like paint, dough, glue, and glitter) without focusing on a specific final product.
Building Challenges: Using LEGOs, magnetic tiles, or even recycled materials (cardboard, tape) to collaboratively design and build elaborate structures.
Homemade Sensory Bins: Creating themed bins (e.g., rice with scoops, dried beans with small toys) to encourage calm, focused, exploratory play.
Cooking/Baking: Involving children in simple, age-appropriate meal prep, like measuring ingredients, stirring, or making their own snacks.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite moment was singing a Georgian children's song to a German girl, and one day she surprised me by singing the whole thing back with the exact Georgian words. it was a truly special moment of connection!
