I’m a nanny because I enjoy being around children and creating friendships with them. I love the environment of getting to know and spend time with them, listening to all their thoughts and ideas. Children amaze me and our such a HUGE blessing! Since I had my daughter 7 yrs ago it has opened my eyes up so much more to what precious gifts children are. My hope is that I will find a family that will also welcome my daughter into their home as she loves being around other children of all ages. Bringing her has worked great for the people I babysit for now, but would love to find more of a full time position.
My past childcare experience I have watched children from 4 months up to 13 years of age both on a regular basis and part-time basis. My days consisted of getting children off the bus, doing homework with them, making dinner for the children, playing outside, feeding bottles to the infant, playing games in the house/crafts, cleaning up the kitchen and light amounts of laundry.
Additional comments I believe children work best with some sort of routine. I think it's of best interest to the children when they are aware of what is going on such as when it's time for play, homework, time to eat, or naptime. I've worked with children who are set by routine, and some who have no routine at all. I believe we as adults expect to be respected by the younger generation, but I also believe that we should show respect to them. I don't agree with yelling or screaming at a child. I think the best way to communicate with them is to talk to them on their level, treat them with respect and show them they are special. I've learned by doing so children respond better to me and in turn they respect me, it all sort of works together.
