I am an experienced Mother, Grandmother, Nanny, babysitter and foster mom. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper, I am kind, loyal, attentive, energetic, reliable and responsible. I truly adore children and they adore me as well. I am a true believer in taking care of a child as if he or she were my own. I always put their safety first, teach them right from wrong, respect them, love them, and feed them nourishing meals. I will never raise my voice nor strike your child, but I will calmly discipline them because a child should always respect his/her parents/nanny and elders. We all know discipline begins at home that's why I will ask the parents how do you expect me to discipline your child when you leave them in my care, my way of discipline goes with age: babies/toddlers and children 4 yrs old and up they all have different attitude and tempers so there's different levels of discipline for each age group. And last but not least I also have experience with special needs children ADHD, CP. Autism, and mentally and sexually abused. most of my special needs experience came from being a foster Mom.
