The most important part about being a nanny...

Communication!! The ability to communicate with you, the parents and to the kids is key! I am an extension of you while you are away and proper communication allows for everyone to be on the same page and have a fun time!

My experience with special needs children...

— Volunteer at Sunshine in Horse Therapy for Children and Adults Developmental Disabilities

—several toddlers and children with Autism
—another kid with other severe mental health problems

The most important part about being a nanny...

The Mitchell family will always be one of my favorite nanny positions. Those girls were fun and we just all clicked. The mom and both girls and I still stay in touch. The oldest is now in College and the youngest just turned 17!! My favorite memory of them was inviting all the neighbor kids over and having a play date outside! I made snacks and lunch for all 9 kids, while they ran around the yard and played with squirt guns and water balloons. I definitely joined in on the fun, too. I will play alongside your kid and make the best of a boring or hard day!

While my parents where out working I had a lot of responsibilities aside of being the oldest in the house . To caring to the kids to making meals , helping with homework, bathing , cleaning the house most importantly playing with the children . It was always a house full of kids in my home growing up to my siblings , cousins , and even the neighborhood kids coming over . It was a lot on my part but I made sure to have the authority figure but also have fun with the children and do out door activities as well as inside . I find working with kids is something I’ve grown to know and how to handle .
