A little bit about me

I am a thoughtful and dependable caregiver who leads with kindness, humor, and respect. I’m a quick thinker and a good listener, and I strive to support the unique needs of both you and your child. I have experience working with children with special needs and I value creating a positive, supportive environment. I’m also an artist and love encouraging creativity, and I would be happy to help your children with crafts and or other creative activities. In addition, I have experience as a tutor and can provide academic support when needed. I’m comfortable caring for any kind of pet, and am also happy to help with cooking and light household tasks.

More About Me

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

I worked at the Before and After School Program through the YMCA at Mendon Center Elementary School during my Junior and Senior years of high school. I helped lead craft activities, played games, and provided academic assistance when needed.

During my first semester of college, I worked as a teacher’s assistant for the kindergarten class. I worked especially with a child on the autism spectrum, providing specialized assistance when needed.

Last summer, I worked as a counselor at Writers and Books, where I helped foster a fun, creative, exciting learning environment for ages 8-13.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

- Crafts
- Games (any sort; video, analog, pretend)
- Karoke
- Soccer (I used to be a goalie!)

The most important part about being a nanny...

Listening! To both the parents and the children; being able to adapt to specific needs and showing genuine care. Equally as important is creating a fun atmosphere. I remember having nannies I adored as a child, and nannies I dreaded. The key difference was the nannies I loved gave 110% of their attention, and actively tried to make me happy, rather than just supervising.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience from all three of my past childcare experiences working with kids with ADHD and with kids on the autism spectrum. I am very patient and an attentive listener, and I am good ad adapting to whatever individual needs your child may have.
