More About Me

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

I am currently a Teaching Assistant at NYC Public Charter School. I assist with fifth-grade math and provide coverage for other grades when needed. I have been an educator for 4+ years and love my job!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to paint and do crafts with children. Live story time reenactment with dress up elements. Playing ultimate Frisbee in the park. Flying kites atop a hill. Building sand castles and sculptures. Day trips to the museum.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Understanding that children are important members of our society. They need to be guided, not controlled. They need to understand stand just how important listening to a trusted adult is and the consequences that could follow if they don't.

Secondly, an educator should always respect the boundary of the child and their guardian. Nannies are meant to support the family and their wishes. Not enforce control or overstep.

My experience with special needs children...

As a former substitute teacher, I was often hired to give 1:1 support to scholars with behavior troubles. This may mean helping the regulate their emotions, focus on assignments and provide necessary time for breaks when they get overwhelmed.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had a child that was a picky eater to the hundredth degree. They would only eat spaghetti with red sauce and boiled eggs. No vegetables, no rice and maybe pizza.

So, when we would eat lunch together I would make our plates similar. But, I would add a new thing to my dish. When they would ask if my pasta tasted good with cheddar cheese, I would tell them they had to try it for themselves. They would always refuse.

Until one day, I stepped away from the the kitchen to set the table. I walked back in the kitchen and the child dumped an entire bag of shredded cheese on their pasta.
