Hello, my name is Natalie and I am a degreed and certified teacher and full-time stay-at-home mom. I have over 10 years childcare experience and offer part-time or full-time childcare from my home in Temple Terrace (near USF). I am motivated to help children become happy, healthy and well behaved. I am skilled in creating schedules, following commitments and maintaining routines as well as listen carefully and follow directions well. In addition, I have a strong passion for encouraging a love of exploration and learning in every child taught. As a mother, I am continuing to learn about child development on a daily basis. I have two wonderful children, a daughter aged 5 years and a 2 and a half year old son. We also have two incredibly friendly furbabies, jack-russell terrier mix and a tabby cat. Our favorite activities include reading books, singing songs, dancing, and going on daily Read more adventures to the park. As a nanny and teacher, it is my goal to work as part of a childcare team with parents. Therefore it is important for all those involved to be on the same page in terms of parental desires for their children and approved discipline methods. I will never use any type of corporal punishment on a child. I believe children can learn through positive reinforcement. Through my experience within the classroom I have used redirection, logical consequences, and timeouts as necessary. I am also a big believer in free play. My preschool experience has shown me children learn best when they are able to freely explore the world around them and express their own interests. I love discovering what motivates children and greatly enjoy guiding them through every day activities and play. During free play, I see my role as the facilitator, keeping children safe and helping as needed. With my teaching background I also love to facilitate guided play, whether by using themed books and crafts, going for nature walks, trying out new science experiments, or exploring the arts through music, dance, and paint. I am always looking for teachable moments!

Natalie was our nanny for a couple of weeks for our 4 month old daughter and has watched our daughter a couple of other times when her daycare has been closed. She is very responsible and caring and always takes great care of her! If we used a full-time nanny, I would definitely use Natalie. She is very hands on, doing fun activities, going for walks, etc. I highly recommend her!
