I am highly dependable and patient. I possess the emotional and intellectual maturity that make me an exceptional nanny-tutor-guidance-expert for your children. I am energetic and creative.My greatest quality is my kindness. I understand kindness does not always translate into efficacy, but in my case I am an efficacious-kind-human, completely equipped to enter your family’s dynamic and help in whichever way you indicate my assistance is needed, with the utmost respect. I will only feed your children what you approve of. I will never allow them to watch anything unless you approve of it. I will respect your family dynamics and creeds. I am extremely punctual and understand tardiness is never an option. I understand you and your family have been working cohesively for years to form a familial-niche, therefore, my job is to enter and contribute to your children’s development, while maintaining professional and unbiased behavior. I have been Read more exposed to multiple cultures and have resided in different parts of the world. I adapt easily and have an extraordinary ability in understanding the complexities of human relationships. I am currently a graduate student of education, human development, and human rights. Thus, I have a sensitivity to our individual life trajectories. Lastly, I will meticulously work towards understanding the morals and values you inculcate upon your children, and I will diligently structure my dynamic keeping those present at ALL times. Although I am there to help out with homework, projects, activities, etc. I am also there to observe interactions and really get a sense of who your children are, what interests them, how they learn, under what circumstances they excel best under. I am able to understand what intimidates them, fear (at any age) can be crippling. With my background in psychology I have developed an ability to help children overcome fears and show them ways to navigate and regulate their emotions. I have realized that as adults we have become, justly so, preoccupied with our quotidian socio-economic endeavors and personal relationships and somehow have an extraordinarily difficult time truly empathizing with children’s needs. When you listen to a child and do not minimize their concerns, you gain their trust and respect. When a child trusts you and respects you they will feel comfortable to confide in you and also feel a responsibility to honor your relationship by seriously considering your guidelines and opinions.
