A little bit about me

Hello I’ve been a nanny for 10 years and love working with lots of kiddos and especially love to specialize with kiddos that have non verbal autism

I don’t want to be just the hired help I want to become part of an extension of family with the families I help

I have my own payment platform to keep it all good on all sides as well

I’ve helped with infant to teens as well as families of singles and triplets and just multiple kids of multiple ages at one time

I typically do a flat hourly rate and don’t charge the price of one child with then adding an additional cost for an additional child such as a sibling but we can always discuss your situation and see what we can try and work out for both of us

I am also fully vaccinated with current vaccines get my annual flu vaccine and have my Covid vaccines as well and stay informed of current needed ones

I also have a clear TB test

I am certified in infant, child, and adult CPR, AED, and First Aid through the American Red Cross

More About Me

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

-I’ve grown up the oldest of 5 kids and helped take care of them as well as my cousin's kids
-I’ve been a lead teacher of an infant room for a daycare
-I’ve helped parents as a postpartum and birth doula
-I was the lead teacher of a room of 21 first grade children for a religious learning time at a church

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

-I love going on walks and having outdoor time with kids
- I love being able to take children to activities outside the home as I’ve done in the past as well
-I prefer the least amount of TV time as possible yet still on occasion am happy to allow for it as a special time activity such as with one family Friday evenings were Friday Movie Night with them and we would have a snack such as popcorn and watch a movie
-I’m a huge fan of sports as I grew up in sports, dance, and martial arts myself

The most important part about being a nanny...

Loving and treating the children as if they were your own children and family I love being an extension of the family rather than just hired help

My experience with special needs children...

The following are groups and styles of needs of children I’ve helped to care for:

-Verbal and Non Verbal Autism
-Non Verbal Cerebral Palsy
-Food Allergies
-Sleep Disorders
-Mental Health Concerns

Also I also like to say I believe it’s not a disorder as we shouldn’t “Dis” anyone it’s a different ability or special ability

The most important part about being a nanny...

Something that made feel great was when I’d cared for a child for so long that I was invited to their kiddo’s preschool graduation as well as for their birthday it made me feel really good
