More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I was a teacher at Unique Child Development Center. Ive also worked as a nanny, babysitter by requests from families who trust me. My job was to look after the kids, lead and direct them to be responsible, expressive and guide them through their experiences. pouring into their creativity & making sure they have a safe and educational experience is important. I make the environment fun, welcoming, safe, and educational.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I enjoy creating opportunities for the children to express themselves and embrace their communication language. whether its hands on, audio, or visual we practice fun activities to help them advance. For example I've had a child struggling to explain verbally a story she was trying to tell so i gave her paper and marker to draw with and she drew it so clearly i was shocked. So when the next week came and i gifted her a sketchbook. She drew in it every day and she would explain what is happening in the pictures , i began to notice how much better she was expressing herself verbally.. true story.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a Nanny is making the children top priority.
My experience with special needs children...
I've worked with a hand full of autistic and special needs kids. It was a good experience, more challenging yes but all it requires is a little more attention to detail and more hands on approach with most of those children. Some need one on one all day, someone to stick by and guide them through the day and keep them on the right path, some others work well with other children but may need positive reinforcement and some extra attention.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite moment was when the children at the center got together to paint this huge picture of me and flowers on a poster and everyone signed it to congratulate me and say good bye before my last day there.
