Hello! My name is Natalie Pender. I am very enthusiastic, compassionate, and nurturing, and I enjoy entertaining children and challenging their young minds! I owned an in-home daycare center, Play2Learn, LLC, for 5 years and closed its doors last year to pursue my dream of traveling the world. I have several years of experience caring for up to 6 young children at a time, including infants. I returned back to Cleveland in August and am now looking for a part-time weekday infant nanny position to supplement my current income. I am very familiar with bottle feeding, sleep training, and other aspects of infant care. I am happy to care for your infant in my house or yours and would love to take the baby on walks and "field trips" once the weather warms up. :) I believe that children are born ready to learn, and that one of the most Read more significant and effective ways for them to do so is through PLAY. Much of what young children should know can be discovered from the world around us. Therefore, I provide them with meaningful experiences and often incorporate education into fun, everyday activities, without them even realizing they are learning! These include, but are certainly not limited to: - Constant conversation - Storytelling - Pictures and books about real people and animals - Pretend play - Field trips - Science & art projects About me: - I graduated from John Carroll University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree and certification in Early Childhood Education with a Reading endorsement. - I have some post-graduate study under my belt -- I began my master's degree at Cleveland State University in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), but put it on the backburner when I started my own business. - Current First Aid and CPR Certification (Infancy to Adult) - I lived in New Zealand and traveled around Southeast Asia, Australia, USA, and Canada last year while I worked remotely for my self-owned travel agency, Your Way to the World, LLC. I have several years of experience with young children, including: - Owner and Teacher at a daycare/child development center - Kiddie Camp counselor - Youth counselor for Celebrity Cruises - Tutoring and student teaching - Nannying and babysitting Some of my qualities: - Fun! - Reliable - Trustworthy - Empathetic - Values communication - Genuinely passionate about working with young children To learn more, please email me at natalie.kolkmeyer@gmail.com. Thank you!

Natalie has been nanny for our family while she is creating her business. She is awesome. Always a smile on her face, very upbeat. All the kids love her and my preschooler has been lucky enough to visit her new space and she is in in heaven there! I am sure Natalie's caregiving will not disappoint. I wish we could keep her here!

Natalie is WONDERFUL! She has been great with my 4 and 1 year old children. She is playful, attentive and reliable. I think my son has a crush on her! My daughter who is normally a mommy's girl never cries when I leave her with Natalie. would be an asset to any working family.
