Children have always been a joy in my life, and over 4 years as a nanny I have begun to turn that love into a career.  Combined with my previous experience as a substitute teacher, I have knowledge and skills to support a wide variety of fun and educational activities with the kids.  College studies included English Secondary Education (also early childhood development) and Speech Language Pathology (speech therapy.)  Professionally, I’ve cared for newborns up to 9 years old and worked with three families.  With two children of my own, and 10 nieces and nephews, I've had plenty of 'off the clock' experience, as well.  It is thrilling to watch young souls discover the world and their talents. By incorporating language, math, art and music into everyday activities, learning flows with the day naturally. Encouraging children's questions and choice of activities develops internally motivated learners and builds self-confidence. Encouraging involvement in Read more everyday activities such as meal prep and cleaning up -builds self-confidence, dexterity & organizational skills, as well as, deeper connection with the family routine. Fresh air, exercise and good nutrition are keystones. Affirming the amazing people that your children are, is the goal of each day. I've been fortunate to incorporate my sons care with my past two families. (My 5 year old is now in kindergarten and aftercare until six pm.) I do hope to continue to include my 2 year old son until he begins preschool. Thank you for your time and interest. I look forward to getting to know your family!
