A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Serenity Burdick, I am 21 years old and was born and raised in Ashaway, Rhode Island.

For the past year I have lived in Canada but am fortunate to be coming back to my hometown in February 2024. I will not be returning to Canada for quite some time though.

I am the type of person who loves new and challenging experiences. I take pride in my accomplishments and experiences. Any task is never too big or too small for me, I always find something to take away from it.

Here is a list of some other fun facts about me!

- I am hard-of-hearing and have worked with the Deaf Community
- I am artistic and love drawing illustrations for children
- I absolutely love baking for other people! I sometimes bake cookies to give out to local seniors.
- I always find the good in the bad

More About Me

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

I have been working with children and adults since I was 16.

However, only 2 of these jobs were paid.

My paid experience involves one full-time job as a summer nanny for a family who would like to remain anonymous. However, I can tell you they had 3 wonderful little boys, 2 of them were special needs.

My other paid experience was a full-time job at Perspectives Corporation in their DHOH Department.

I have also worked several volunteer positions for teaching art classes to children, chaperoning trips, and other seasonal activities.

My other experience that has not been paid includes babysitting for family and friends. I have also offered services as a caretaker for teenagers with disabilities like down syndrome and autism.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I believe that all children and adults benefit from a balance of indoor and outdoor activities.

Some of my favorite indoor activities include baking desserts and painting. However, I am not against a wonderful game of hide and seek.

My favorite outdoor activities include going to the zoo and aquarium. I love how each experience is different and children are able to learn about the world around them.

If the aquarium and zoo are not available though I often look for local events like crafts fairs or art shows.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being there and listening. Children are dependent but also independent. It's important to let children do what they are capable of them and let them experiment themselves. However, it's also important to listen to their wants/needs and help them when they need it.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with special needs children and adults.

- Down Syndrome
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- ADHD
- Deaf / Hard of Hearing
- Learning Disabilities
- Developmental Disabilities
- Bipolar
- Schizophrenia

One thing I have learnt about working with special needs is that each person has their own routines. What works for one person may not work for another, there is no one size fits all care plan for individuals with special needs, even if they have the same disability.

If you are looking for someone to offer you help with a children who has special needs I encourage you to reach out to me! I cannot say I will be the perfect fit until we are able to discuss what kind of care you're looking for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment I have had was with a young teenager with down syndrome.

He was a wonderful and sweet boy and I enjoyed seeing the world from his perspective. One day I brought him some sticker packs and we went back and forth putting every single sticker on a piece of paper (or ourselves!)

It was a wonderful and joyful moment and I will never forget how happy he was and hearing his amazing laugh.
