A little bit about me

I'm a BYU student looking for part-time babysitting and/or nannying opportunities for the summer of 2021. I adore children and have worked with them extensively. Other than consistently babysitting for multiple families with children (as well as fur babies!) of various ages and genders since a young age, I worked at a daycare for a year in 2019. During my time at the daycare I typically cared for children ages 6 weeks to 18 months, although I commonly also worked with children up to the age of ten.
I can cook, clean, and help with homework being an avid student myself. I love to plan activities (at home or otherwise) and getting outdoors is always a priority. Moreover, I am trained in baby sign language and would love to help your littles learn to communicate with those around them from a young age.
Additionally, I am CPR certified and have been trained in first aid.

More About Me

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

I have volunteer at communities libraries to help children with learning disabilities improve their literacy.
I have worked at a daycare for a year, focusing mostly on infants ages 6 weeks to 18 months, but also caring for older children.
I have babysat up to six children at a time from the age of twelve.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy playing outdoor games of any variety (sports, tag, capture the flag, pirates, anything at all!)
I enjoy nature watching and collecting plants with children as a way of engaging with the world and understanding the importance of nature.
I love to build forts, play hide-and-seek, do scavenger hunts, make crafts, and do sensory activities that help us explore through touch, taste, sound, and smell.
I love dancing, singing, and art is one of my favorite hobbies.
I believe in a balance between cooperative and competitive play that allows children to learn how to be good sports as well as how to work with others in a rewarding way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is creating a secure, individual, and trusting relationship with the children I care for. I believe in the importance of letting children be children.
Children are exploring the world and through that learning morr about it everyday. In the process they are becoming who they will be for the rest of their lives. The role of a reliable, loving, and trustworthy relationship with a caretaker in giving a child the confidence to explore and grow is vital. They need to know that there is someone looking out for them and encouraging them. The most rewarding part of caring for a child is watching them grow knowing that you were able to help them take the steps to do so.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have so many sweet moments and memories with my young friends over the years, but perhaps my favorite is when the four girls I babysat regularly for years would run up to bed and ask me to sing them to sleep. More than that, I loved the point when they began to sing along with me.
I'm not a particularly good singer, but I love to sing and I know that most children love it as well. I sang these children songs that my parents sang to me and it was so wonderful to see it bring them the same joy they gave me as a child.
