More About Me

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

I have had the opportunity to work in several positions where my primary responsibility was to work with the children. I have worked with children ages newborn to age 13 and I have worked with children who have physical, mental, and learning disabilities.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy going for walks or to the park, swimming, attending sports events, recitals or musical events/concerts, going to museums or visiting historical landmarks, going to amusement parks and beaches, and helping children to explore and learn about the world around them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny to me doesn’t come with just a few words or sentences. Instead it is best described as having the opportunity to help children explore their interest and be apart of their every day lives (daily routine, play time, and other activities).

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked as a teachers assistant with special needs children and also as a rehabs technician under the supervision of a speech pathologist, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. I am also familiar with and have worked with children who have physical, mental, and developmental disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have many favorite nanny moments. However, my favorite memories come from having worked for a family where the parents where both physicians. I worked on call hours and some regularly scheduled hours for them taking care of their 3 boys. I loved getting to enjoy the moments of playing board games, doing arts and crafts, kicking around the soccer ball outside, climbing up into the treehouse and playing pirates, or swinging as high as we could on the swings. Those moments in time were challenging with three very busy boys but also rewarding as I got to watch them grow, explore, and develop.
