Greetings, I am a nanny with over 50 years of experience raising and teaching children. I have been with my current family, full-time for over eight years now, caring for their first, and then second child. As the youngest is beginning school full time now, there is no longer a need for my services and I am looking for my next position. I pride myself on providing intensive attention to my charges. My time with your child is time with your child, not parking them in front of a screen; playing with them, guiding their development, teaching them manners and self-discipline, as well as giving them a jump start on their academic skills, all while maintaining the fun quotient to keep them engaged and enthusiastic. The children that I have helped raise have a love of reading and books instilled, have an understanding of basic math, and have life skills Read more beyond those of their peers, putting them well ahead upon entering school, with an ethic that should allow them to maintain that edge all through their lives. Most importantly, I teach them to love and respect themselves, as having a sense of self-worth is perhaps the most important life skill there is. As I’ve said, I have been doing this for a very long time, and I am very proud of what “my” children have achieved, both academically, and in terms of their personal development. I have attached a reference from my current family, as well as the Garden City Hotel, where I provide on-call childcare occasionally. Additional references are available as well. Words on a page are inadequate to give one an accurate feel for what is a position that relies almost entirely on interpersonal interaction. I would respectfully request an opportunity to meet you and your little one so you can gain a true sense of my abilities, my techniques, and your child’s reaction to me. Thanks for your consideration, Willi Y Miller
