A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Savannah :)
I grew up on a farm in Winston Salem, NC.
I love to learn and wanted to be a Physician Assistant, so I did a premed degree at App State and my preclinical experience at a pediatrics office for 2 years until I went on to ECU for PA school.
After 2 semesters of PA school, I decided it wasn't for me .. now I'm looking for a change and a way to pay off my loans as I figure out the next step. I have been a nanny and for countless families over the years and have 11+ years of babysitting experience. I am a responsible driver, a good swimmer and I love to be outside. I LOVE to cook and clean. But most of all, I love kids. As your nanny I would seek to not only play with your kids but to help engage them in activities that help build life skills and a love for learning. I typically try to limit screen time and promote reading and active playing.
In my free time, I love to write music, go for long runs and watch the sunrise.

More About Me

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

I worked as a nurse assistant in a pediatrics office for 2 years! I have lots of experience caring for the medical needs of children as I used to triage, collect lab tests, give vaccines and do wound dressings on pediatric patients of all ages. I am also CPR and BLS certified and I attended PA school for 2 semesters before deciding it wasn't the right path for me.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

building forts, baking cookies, reading, playing games such as hide and seek, taking walks, playing outside, side walk chalk, crafts, picnics, yard sports, charades, going to the pool, etc.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I want the kids to have fun while following directions. I strive to be a firm but kind nanny and will be consistent in keeping the boundaries/rules in place that are set by the parents.

My experience with special needs children...

I volunteered as a "buddy" for a teen with special needs at a summer camp one summer. I also helped with Young Life Caperneum, a christian ministry for teens with special needs. Both of these opportunities required training and gave me experience working with and caring for teens with all types of care levels and disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My former nanny family had a hiking trail with a creek at the bottom. The kiddos and I hiked down to the creek to play in the sun one day. Then I realized my oversight as we started to hike back and both kiddos were getting tired. I had to carry them all the way up to the house, ahaha - it ended up being a great workout for me and the kids had fun playing in the creek!
