A little bit about me

As a former stay-at-home-mom to my now-grown sons, I have a passion for working with children. Over the past 30 years, I've cared for many kids, both paid and unpaid, and have always found joy in engaging with children on their level.

I believe children are a precious gift and should be treated with respect, while also learning to be respectful themselves. As a caregiver, I am loving, protective, and nurturing, and I also expect children to interact appropriately with others.

I enjoy participating in kids' activities, and I'm happy to assist with cooking, cleaning, and laundry if requested. Additionally, I'm an animal lover and would be delighted to care for your furry family members as well.

I am a non-smoker with a clean criminal record. I am certified in Basic Life Support, CPR, and First Aid, and I have my own transportation. My hours are flexible to accommodate your needs. Thank you for considering me!

More About Me

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

I have 18 years of experience as a dedicated stay-at-home mom to my wonderful sons. Prior to becoming a mother, I babysat for several families, starting at the age of 14. I've cared for children of various ages, ranging from newborns to 13-year-olds, and I am perfectly capable and willing to care for older children if needed. I've also worked with children and young adults with developmental disabilities, including my youngest son, who is on the autism spectrum. As such, I am skilled in handling the unique challenges and issues that may arise.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy planning engaging and educational activities that are tailored to each child's interests and developmental stage. Some of my favorite activities include:

- Storytelling and reading aloud to foster language development and imagination.
- Arts and crafts, which not only encourage creativity but also help with fine motor skills.
- Outdoor games and sports to promote physical activity and teamwork.
- Educational board games that teach problem-solving skills and strategic thinking.
- Cooking simple recipes to introduce children to basic math and science concepts while also developing their culinary skills.
-Adaptable to the individual needs and interests of each child

Overall, I aim to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment that promotes learning and growth for the children in my care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is building a trusting and nurturing relationship with the children and their families. This involves open communication, respect, and understanding the individual needs, preferences, and values of each family. By establishing a strong bond, I can create a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

In addition, being reliable, responsible, and adaptable are key qualities that contribute to successful nannying. As a nanny, I am committed to prioritizing the well-being, growth, and happiness of the children in my care, and ensuring that their families have peace of mind.

My experience with special needs children...

As previously mentioned, I've worked with children and young adults with developmental disabilities. My youngest son is on the autism spectrum, so I am quite capable of handling the issues that arise from that challenge. I am understanding sensory issues and signs of frustration and overwhelm. I'm good at preventing meltdowns and managing those that do happen.
