A little bit about me

I need to renew my CPR and First Aid certs.
I received my BHT Certifications when working with children and adults.
I have experience with non-verbal communication (I would love to learn sign language with your family) and various Neurodivergent kids and adults.

Grew up in a huge family, and love to dance and sing through the daily hoopla of life with kids.

Art and nature focused, experience with allergies (had some celiac related issues as a kid) and medically sensitive people.

I'm 29, I do karaoke, and nature walks in my spare time.

I am flexible with needs, comfortable driving, but sadly am without a car myself for now.
I am current on all vaccinations, but I may need to get my Covid card out of the depths of my closet.
Favorite colors are green, pink and yellow.

More About Me

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

Babysat for multiple families of kids at once for various church events from 14 years old to 22. I then transitioned to being a part time nanny for a family of 3 boys.
I was a preschool teacher/co-lead at a early learning center as well. I have experience as a BHT in a childrens unit so am comfortable learning about the requirements of disabled/specific needs children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Sensory play (smelling flowers, comparing textures of different plants/rocks/tree bark, counting how many ___ we see).
Follow the Leader.
Art/letter writing (hear me out, I think more kids should know how to address envelopes).

Singing, dancing, imagination play, peaceful thoughts/light stretching. I could go on and on.

I am only going to be help with elementary school work sadly, but I am happy to co-ordinate with tutors if necessary.

Meal prepping and light housekeeping are both A-okay here, I think it helps kids to see me take care of the space sometimes, I can often turn it into a game.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Patience

Patience

Laughing at messes

Evaluate, Action, Explain (sometimes during/before action).

Every moment is a learning moment for me and them.

Silly Voices

Machine Washable Wardrobe

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with kids between 4-16 with special needs including but not limited to:
Non-verbal communication, ADHD, Autism Spectrum, and a few Neurological disorders that affected motor function and reasoning skills.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the kid who I struggled to connect with ran up to me one day and told me he missed me. I had made a concerted effort to connect with him and was starting to worry we wouldn't click. (the trick was Beyblades apparently)

Im a former stay at home mom and now empty nester. I’ve raised 2 amazing humans that are pretty much fully launched and on their own..
