A little bit about me

BA in Elementary Education, minor in early childhood education. Special needs experience, homeschool experience 2 years to 18 years. Private school teacher K-7th grade.
I started babysitting when I was 13 and was soon booked solid for weekends. I was hired for my first childcare job right out of high school. I worked in childcare centers all through college. After college I was hired to start a pre-school/daycare for a church. That was an awesome experience!
I became a teacher after they were grown.
My husband passed away 3 years ago. He had dementia/Alsheimers. I was his sole caregiver, so I don't have any recent references.
I will be renewing my CPR, Infant CPR and First Aid certifications.
I am looking for a part-time live-in position with school age children. I can work any hours.
I am in the Fort Leonard Wood, MO, area, but am willing to relocate, even out of state.
I have a well behaved 10 yo spayed, cat. She is house broken, never scratches furniture and stays in my room. I

More About Me

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

Teacher pre-school through 7th grade; tutor; Sunday School teacher; Vacation Bible School; Youth Club; Royal Rangers; Camp Fire Girls. I was the families temporary help for my sister and 2 nieces who has surgery.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts, making music, singing, reading books, make believe, science activities, exploring nature, cooking, school activities
I enjoy taking the children on outings, especially during the Summer. Places like the park, swimming, to the library, the zoo or museums.
I like to engage the children in educational activities like exploring the back yard with magnifying glasses and fun experiences like making a blanket fort. Though, even playing can be educational.
Sometimes I'm silly with the children and am definitely a hands on Nanny. If they are making mud pies, I'm probably making them, too! Building a snow man and snowball fights? Count me in!
I don't mind if they have friends over, as long as the children are respectful and careful with other people's belongings.
I prefer activity over screen time or TV.
Children also need time to just be a kid!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being in tune with the children and nurturing their natural childhood curiosity with fun activities.
Maintaining a schedule consistent enough to provide a structured environment yet flexible enough to take advantage of teaching moments.
Being supportive of the parents with household routines and their goals for their children's growth and education.

My experience with special needs children...

I was the director of a childcare on the campus of the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. I had children with hearing impairments; vision impairments; and typical children. I know beginning ASL and am still studying it. I have worked with children who are developmentally delayed; have Cerebral Palsy; non verbal children. I have extensive experience with Dyslexia, ADHD and OCD. Both of my children and I have it. I homeschooled them all 12 years. I was a certified teacher through their 7th and 8th grades.
