  About Me
 
I am a single mom of three children, ages 24, 21, and 18. I love being a mom, which is one of the reasons why I became a nanny. I enjoy interacting with children of all ages, because every child has something special to offer. My role as a nanny is to provide the utmost of care for the children, both physically and emotionally. I believe children respond positively when they are in a positive environment. Therefore, I do not yell at children, nor do I spank. Children need a balance of educational activities and play time. Television should be limited, instead time should be used in creative ways.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
10 years experience, 3 references
I have been a nanny since 1995, and I love every minute of it. I have worked for three families, including where I am currently employed. My families have all been long term, three years for the first two families and going on seven years with my current family. I have twin experience from ages three months to almost three years. Although I do not have special needs experience, I am confident of my abilities to care for a child with special needs. I feel communication between nanny and parent(s) is very important in order to establish a healthy relationship.
