I have been a nanny for the past year and I love it but I only work in the mornings. Previously, I worked as a substitute teacher during the school year and I spent my summers being a camp counselor. Because of these experiences, I have earned certifications in many different fields. I have been certified in archery, high ropes training, team building, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, canoeing, water safety (in natural bodies of water and pools), first aid, CPR, and a multitude of random safety courses. Not all of these certifications are still valid as they require money and need to be renewed every year, my First Aid and CPR certifications are valid. :) As a substitute teacher, I am used to being flexible and staying calm in stressful situations. Once, I had a choir class of 54 high schoolers all by myself. Working in education, preschool to honors classes, has also given me a better grasp on what each grade is learning. I graduated with high honors and have a passion for learning. I love to read, write, do math and science. I would love to help your kiddos out in any of their studies. (Or “not teach them anything” and just casually implement learning into our activities, lol). I have always enjoyed my creative side. In my free time, if I am not camping with friends, I am making arts and crafts, painting, singing, or finding anything to do with my hands. I am not a great artist but I believe that anything that makes your heart full is worth doing. I believe that everyone should be treated with kindness and equality. I want to give your children the same respect that I believe I deserve from them. I hope to help them grow into their weirdest, kindest, most authentic selves.

Hello! I'm Lany, nice to meet you! I’ve been working with young children for over ten years.

I also hope to pursue a master's degree in mental health counseling and work with children and adolescents, or become a school counselor.
