A little bit about me

I am 29 years old and married to my wonderful husband. I love animals, cooking, baking, and cleaning. I have an associate's degree in Early Education and a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have been a childcare teacher for 5 years and recently a Kindergarten teacher for 1 year before becoming a SAM. I have a 14 month old son and will be expecting a baby girl in a few weeks. I absolutely love working with children and am extremely knowledgeable in the early education field whether that is:
Curating lesson plans
Understanding the importance of play
Tracking development
Healthy meal plans
Structured routine
Sanitary play environments
Potty training
Introducing basic sign language
And more.

I am hoping to work with a family that will allow my children to socialize and play with their children. I, most preferably, would like to find a job with a family that is willing to have their child(ren) come to my home where I have a classroom environment set up.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment
To be a child's safe person
To help a child learn new skills (whether academically, physically, or, most importantly, socially - kindess and respect are such important values to instill into young minds)
Playing with the child
Creating respectful and trusting relations with the family
Being the village for family members

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have never been a nanny but my favorite moments as a teacher and parent is when a child has a belly laugh. I love hearing children laugh when we are being silly. I also love the excitement I witness whenever a child learns a new skill - the confidence they radiate is absolutely beautiful!
