Hi, my name is Annette and I am 32 years old. I’ve been a nanny for 8+ years for children ranging from 2 months old to 14 years old. My experience is predominantly within the age frame of infant to toddler ages. I am a mother of a 10 year old girl and a 15 month old baby boy. I learned a lot of valuable lessons from my daughter with her hearing disability. She was born with profound hearing loss in both ears leading her to receive 2 cochlear implants. With that being said, I have experience with speech therapy over the years and I have picked up methods in order to help with learning words and pronouncing them while making it fun which I have taken with me throughout my nanny career. Now that i have my baby boy, I have refreshed my baby skills as well! It can Read more be a bit confusing as to why a mom of 2 would want to be a nanny! To answer the main questions of how can I do it and why do I do it. I have the fortunate case of my mother retiring and caring for my children while I go back to work and also leaving me with the flexibility of working late or having to work an extra hour or two if necessary for a family. As to why? I’ve always loved kids and having my own only amplified it for me. Anybody would want a job they can enjoy while receiving an income, which is nannying for me. Kids have always gravitated towards me which always makes me feel so lucky. We all know children are harsh critics so when I receive a stamp of approval; that’s always reassuring me that this is the job for me. I believe being a parent offers me that special “power”. When a parent feels exhausted or overwhelmed, I understand them on a very personal level and offer a hand in any way I can. When a parents feels apprehensive about leaving their child with someone new, I personally understand the fears and therefore I offer hourly updates along with pictures if asked to ease their nerves. Overall, I am here to help a parent and being a loving adult to the child or children. I am here to offer the same I offer to my own children because I will not treat a child any different than my own. Each child deserves to respected and heard and importantly feel safe with whoever they are left with. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you! I have plenty of references, Please ask for it and I will gladly provide them!
