I love the connection you make when you care for children.  I have experience with infants, toddlers, older children, big families, and with multiples as well. I love children, laughing, playing and reading. They are all just so wonderful and special in their own little ways. I am responsible, kind,  caring, and nurturing. I believe caring for a child is one of the biggest responsibilities there is. I am fun, creative and love to help children learn new things. Development and reaching Milestones is extremely important. I am also very outgoing and energetic.  I’m athletic and love to get outside and PLAY. I am a Non-smoker and have CPR and First Aid training. As well as a Background Check and Safe Driving Record. I like to be a proactive Nanny.   Help set schedules and help stick to them.  Children need structure, Rules and routines are a very big part in helping with children's development, meeting milestones and overall happiness in children.  Comfortable with Sleep Training and Loving Discipline, a Firm but Fair approach. Explaining rules, setting boundaries and being respectful to the children. I enjoy many different activities with the children both indoor and out. I love to read, sing songs, dance and be silly. I like doing age appropriate arts and crafts as well as just laughing and playing. When the weather isn't too horrible I like to go for walks, go to parks and museums, the beach, music classes and even children's music Concerts.  Also enjoy activities like Wiggle Worms, Bubbles Academy, Gymboree, and have lots of wonderful Nanny Friends to have structured,  educational Play Dates. I like to take photos and keep a journal (Nanny Log) of the day’s activities. Trips to the Zoo eat and sleep times etc. I feel like since Mom and Dad can't be home it’s nice to communicate as much as possible. I have a driver’s license.  I have driven children in the city, it’s just more practical not to. I am comfortable walking most places or taking the children on public transportation.
