More About Me

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

My experience caring for children began during my high school years when I worked as a babysitter for several families in my community. Through this job, I gained valuable experience working with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I learned how to keep them entertained, comfortable, and safe while their parents were away.
In college, I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with two young children. I was responsible for the children's daily care, which included preparing meals, helping with homework, and walking them to and from various activities. I also organized fun and educational activities, such as arts and crafts, outdoor games, and visits to local museums and parks.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Engaging children in various activities can help them grow and develop in many ways. For example, playing board games with a child can help improve their cognitive skills, including their ability to problem-solve, strategize, and think critically. Baking can help them learn basic math skills like measuring, counting, and fractions, as well as help them develop fine motor skills as they mix and decorate the cookies.
Physical activities like playing catch, going on nature walks, or doing yoga can help children develop gross motor skills and coordination. These activities also encourage children to be active and help them develop a love for being outdoors and exploring the world around them.
Arts and crafts activities like drawing, painting, and making jewelry can help children develop their creativity, imagination, and fine motor skills. These activities also encourage children to express themselves and build self-confidence.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children in your care. This means being responsible and reliable, and putting the children's well-being and happiness at the forefront of everything you do.
This job requires patience, empathy, and an understanding of each child's unique needs and personality.
Communication is also a crucial aspect of being a nanny. You need to be able to communicate effectively with the children in your care, as well as their parents or guardians. This includes being able to listen to their needs and concerns, and providing feedback in a respectful and constructive manner.
Ultimately, being a nanny is a rewarding and fulfilling job that requires dedication, passion, and a genuine love for working with children. It is an opportunity to make a positive impact on a child's life, and to help them grow and thrive.

My experience with special needs children...

In my previous position as a nanny, I cared for a child with autism. I worked closely with their parents and therapists to create a customized care plan that included activities and strategies that supported their development. I learned how to communicate effectively with the child, using visual aids and positive reinforcement to help them understand expectations and learn new skills. I also provided emotional support and comfort during challenging moments, such as sensory overload or difficulty with transitions.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when I was working with a family and their young daughter had a passion for dance. She would often ask me to join in on her impromptu dance sessions, and I always happily obliged. One day, she decided to put on a little "performance" for her parents, and she asked me to join her. Her parents were so impressed and touched by the effort we had put in, and it was such a fun and memorable moment for all of us. It was a reminder of how special it is to connect with children and share in their joy and creativity.
