Aloha! I have 10+ years nanny experience (Boston, Honolulu). I am a children's book writer, a singer, a dreamer, and I think science is fun. I believe it's important to incorporate games, joy, and music into everyday moments, yet I also have a repertoire of techniques to maintain a good schedule and proper nutrition. I have a proven track record of successful care for overnights, full weekends, and business trips, as well as newborn/infant night nursing (including extensive experience with newborn/infant/toddler twins). I have plenty of experience with older children as well; making sure they can expend their boundless energy and have some down time even with a busy schedule. As a former lifeguard, I am extremely comfortable with children in the water. My keywords for kids are safety, kindness, manners, and fun. I use positive methods and phrasing, as reinforcing the desired behavior and attaching it to a keyword/concept Read more is vastly more effective than telling them what not to do. Likewise, treating kids like the bright, intelligent people they are and helping them develop their skills (physical, social, emotional, academic) is appropriate for all ages. I am a pretty good cook (focusing on whole foods nutrition), and I am more than comfortable doing errands and child-related chores. I use baby/toddler sign language (and will teach parents any signs used) & know a smattering of French & Spanish. I'm looking forward to finding a new family for the next few years, and perhaps one for weekends. I intend to move closer to my main job, but hope it will be within 50 miles of Thousand Oaks.
