I’m a nanny because I love children and enjoy being a positive part of their lives. For me, there is nothing better than seeing the world through a child's eyes. I love the variety of activities there are to share with children each day and strive to make everyday fun and educational.
My past childcare experience I Love Love Love being a Nanny! I most recently was a Personal Nanny for a wonderful family - I cared for a boy from the time he was 9 months old to 5 years old and he recently began kindergarten. I also cared for his sister from the time she was 2 years old to 7 years old and she recently began 2nd grade, and I cared for their 7 months old temporary foster child for a few months. My duties included caring for the children from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM 4 days per week. Care included being there when they would awaken for the day, preparing meals, bathing and personal care, transporting them to and from school, and providing educational and fun experiences. Activities we enjoyed included: Visiting the library for story-time and checked-out books to take home, helped them to learn the alphabet, numbers, colors, beginning mathematics, shapes, etc. Museums and Performing Arts, Various types of Arts & Crafts projects, Baking, Hiking, Swimming, Beaches, Parks, Gyms, and Play dates with children from their pre-school to name a few. Previous to that position I was a Personal Nanny & Household Manager - I cared for 2 middle-school aged children before and after school, and was a personal assistant to their Mother while they were in school.
Additional comments My greatest strengths are patience and a joyful personality. My discipline style is positive reinforcement and to speak with children on their level in a calm manner and to encourage them to come up with a positive solution to the problem they are experiencing. I would love to work with a family long-term, and am available immediately.
