More About Me

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

I've worked with several family's, I've worked with special needs ADHD and autistic children, I've had 6 children at once before for over a year, I've worked for Simon Goubodia, the Atlanta house wives guy for 3years, when he was with Falynn, I've worked for a set of Dr's. Husband and wife, but my 5 years old granddaughter got diagnosed with brain cancer and I had to go somewhere with more money and do what was best for us, they cried, but I had to go,

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Sky zone, riding bikes, going to the park, movies, making cookies, coloring, reading, doing lots of arts and crafts with the kids, we go to karate, gymnastics, and different places, depending on what mom puts the kids in the, I love for them to go out and ride bikes and just love being kids having friends, staying away from all the bad social media stuff and cell phones, once we get the kids and activities they won't have it any other way reading is a blessing all kids love to read they can do so many things if they have it with them but we have to present it to them for them to grasp it and it's hard for one person or even two people when you have multiple children it's always good to have that extra hand or two trust me I know I understand

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching my babies grow and learn new things and the love they have for you becomes so important and special because they trust us we have to protect and love them and make them feel safe and secure and important

My experience with special needs children...

ADHD and autistic, two boys in same family with ADHD, both of them were on medication, but we handled it well my Christian he couldn't have his food touch everything had to be separated he had to have his plastic plates none of his food could be touching he would have a fit or he wouldn't eat it he only ate certain things every night when he went to bed he had to have us water bottle sitting on top of three books behind his bed his bed couldn't touch the wall he took a shower the shower couldn't be shut had to be open to a certain point but when he did his school work he was a straight A student he's very very hyper he loved his brother everywhere he went he had to be with his brother I his brother was so hyper he couldn't sit down for nothing he would stand there and talk to you and he would switch his fingers but he couldn't sit down very long he could do stuff in minutes you could get 5 or 10 minutes worth of work out of him and that was it you'd have to let him go do something for

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is when it's time for me to leave and the boys hang on me and beg me to stay with them, they don't want me to leave, I know they love me and I'm doing a great job with them they call me Nana and I know they love me when they don't want me to go when they cry for you and they hang on to you and they don't want to let you go you know that you're doing something right when I go to the garage and they follow you out to the garage and they give you another hug when I try to shut the garage door and they say hold on wait a minute they give you another hug and you try to go out they said hold on wait a minute and give you another hug every single night over and over and over and over cuz I know I'm doing something right no matter what I say no matter what I do if I'm getting on to him or not I know I'm loved by them
