Lanie H. Nanny in Fresno, CA 93710.

I have been working with children for 9 years. I am First Aid/CPR certified. I began as a volunteer at a health club as a summer camp assistant, and then I began to work at the day care center. It was a rather small room. I would get up to 12 children in the room at a time (ages 3 months-12 years) by myself. I wasn't allowed to take the children outside much because it was a health center and they could get hurt. I would find ways to entertain them with games, puzzles, coloring, and the occasional movie. I don't really let kids watch TV much unless the parent really wants them to. I would rather come up with a fun game, activity, anything they will learn from and have fun with. I have patience and a love for kids. I worked for the day care for about two years, on and off throughout high school. I got another job as an assistant teacher after receiving the units necessary through college. I also worked at the school as an after school assistant in the day care. Through the school and day care, I met many children that varied from ages 3 months old to 12 years old. I helped to teach the "Montessori" way as well and in a public school in Torrance. They are both very different in structure and the activities available. I believe in a balance of the two teachings.

From there, I became a nanny to a 3-month-old until she was almost 3 years old. Throughout that time, I watched the family's friends' kids and have had a few other nanny positions since. I have also done nanny shares for hours at a time where I would care for my main family and a couple other kids at once.

I love to be around kids. I feel that I connect with them. I am still a kid at heart. I am responsible. I also have an 12-year-old brother, who I have been a "second mom" to, while he has been growing up. I always pick up after myself. I feel that I know how to interact with children. I help them to learn and grow as the wonderful individuals that they are.

In addition to my experience with children, I have potty trained a few of them. I typically take them to parks, the library, on walks, really anything to keep them entertained. I am also very good with direction if there is a specific schedule you would like set for the days.

I have also worked in Clovis as a teacher, I am looking for a full time nanny position long term. I am also open for any babysitting!
