As a Nanny willing to live in depending on family needs, but willing to move! I am a Nanny, sitter, behavioral specialist, and Professional Tutor all in one! Watching kids has become so much more than it use to be. It’s become getting their minds moving and their bodies moving too! Really paying attention to the little things so when your time with them is over you can let a parent or guardian in on every detail that seemed either concerning or important and impressive! As a loved Aunt Robin to my nieces and nephews, I have learned pay attention to things others who haven’t tutored, taught, or worked with kids with special needs would not even notice. Eyes everywhere, am I right! I am great with schedules if you have them made for your kids days of meals, school work,and activities, bed time and more they may have. I Read more am also willing to help your children get use to a schedule as well of course! I am very good at sneaking in learning with appropriate awards that depending on age they won’t even notice. My nephew right now, 5, I am his speech therapist. As for older kids maybe 9 and up, I have always been out going, bubbly, stern, but trusting. Older ones tend to tell me things that we all at one time were embarrassed to tell our parents. No worries I am very well aware of liability laws. You will be informed. I have loved all my opportunities and I take the time to get to know my kids interests not just for them to show/do, but to take their interests and intercept it into their schoolwork, making friends and creating a relationship with them and Feel free to ask me anything at all I am open book just to the parents of course hahaha!
