A little bit about me

Hello! I am a retired teacher and recent empty nester who is looking to continue to make a positive impact on children's lives.
I am an experienced childcare professional with 40 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood in both classrooms and via home nanny care.

I enjoy utilizing my teaching abilities to create a nurturing and cognitively stimulating environment to help children achieve their highest potential and be successful learners. I feel it is important to create a relaxed and fun learning atmosphere using creativity and the arts to encourage children's innate potential, so I gear my teaching style to individualized play to include children's various abilities and functional levels.

I am skilled in supporting developmental milestones and have a strong background in managing daily routines, appointments, and educational outings.

I look forward to meeting your family to see if my attributes fit your child's needs.

"Wendy is extremely hard working and dedicated to caring for not only the children but the family. She was a coworker and the teacher to my 2 oldest children as infants and toddlers and now for all 3 on a weekly basis. We trust and value Wendy immensely and know she will care for our children as her own while doing amazing activities including sensory activities, singing/music, art, walks & nature play, gross motor and fine motor activities. My children feel safe, loved, and learn in ways that are fun and engaging."

More About Me

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

I have worked at Kindercare, HeadStart, The Centers for Families and Children, The Nest and a few small centers in California. I also taught Kindergarten in the public school system.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I'm really into sensory activities and arts and crafts with children. Anything that the children (including infants) can learn from using any and all of their senses is how I spend most of my day with children. Whether it is doing cheerio sand, ice painting, fruit mash, a nature walk to collect items to make a collage, splashing in a rainy day puddle or making snow angels as long as the children are engaged and learning is key.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is being a good listener. Listening to what the families needs are and then being able to put your skills into action independently is key to a healthy and successful working relationship.

My experience with special needs children...

Two of my own children have been diagnosed with Aspergers. I have a tremendous amount of patience with special needs children and children in general. In various classrooms throughout my years of teaching I have encountered children on various levels of the autism spectrum, children with Down Syndrome, children in wheelchairs for various reasons, children with allergies and asthma, and children with missing limbs. I am able to make accommodations in my teaching style to be sure that these children learn as well as typical children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Although I have not been a traditional nanny, having working in educational centers my whole career, I have many wonderful memories of the hundreds of children in my care. My favorite by far has to be when parents go out of their way to bring their kids (who are long gone from my room) to my classroom for a morning hug to start their day off right. That shows my continued connection with my kiddos.
