I have 20 years childcare experience. Mostly newborns and young children up to young teens, also children with special needs, such as autism. I treat the children I watch as if they were my own because I love watching over them and making them feel safe and loved. I enjoy being active and am always on my feet. I also like to do arts and crafts, cook, and keep the place tidy. For serious housecleaning think housekeeper is needed as well since watching children is more important. Prefer to find employment in a home with loving family values as a full time daily worker. I am not the party type, so I am generally available most hours and days of the week. I like sports and keeping children active as well as myself. I love helping others and teaching children their school lessons as well as games and crafts. I am a very friendly, bubbly, happy, and outgoing nana, I just love laughing and enjoying my time with children while keeping a good attitude and positive environment. I consider myself born to be a mommy and would like to extend that comfort to other children as a nanny. I may be small in size, but I have a huge heart. Especially when it comes to little cutie pies. I am sure it's obvious that I am passionate when it comes to children but I am also firm and strict when need be. Love and affection are great comforting tools, but understanding the child and providing structure and rules, are just as important. I do not allow children to run wild, discipline within the parent's guidelines will be adhered to. I believe in rewards and consequences and have no problem helping to teach your children these life lessons to grow. My love and passion for children as well as my structure and discipline allow me to connect with children and I would love for the opportunity to serve your family. Feel Free to see my profile.
