  About Me
 
I am an endlessly creative, down in the dirt type of nanny. I treat children with respect and dignity, and like to have a mutual learning experience with them. We all learn a lot from each other. I love to do projects, sing, play music, and go on trips. My main goal is to improve a child's quality of life, and to help them grow into their full potential. I am a huge fan of childhood. In childcare, what's most important to me is giving children many opportunities to explore, create, and learn, and whole-heartedly encouraging them all along the way. I take a hands-on approach, and I like to get messy, make mistakes, and have fun. I love to stay in and do art projects, play games, do homework, read stories, and do dramatic play activities. Going out is great, too. The world is an exciting place for a child. I love to take children to parks, zoos, swimming pools, museums, live theater, concerts, aquariums, libraries, creeks, malls, or anything we can think of. I want to work with a family that I can have a close relationship with, and have open, honest communication. I want a job where I am a part of the family.
