I started babysitting at age 11 and I have never stopped. I consider my work as a nanny my calling, and not just a job. The kids I care for and their parents become a part of my family, and I am pleased to remain close and in touch with all of my families when I stop working for them. While I am on the job, I relish the bonds that form between myself and the kids. I enjoy learning their personalities and establishing a routine that fits with their family's lifestyle and beliefs. I love discovering the techniques and activities that help them achieve milestones and learn new things. It brings me so much joy to know that while I am teaching and nurturing the babies and kids, I am assisting the parents by helping them check items off their daily and weekly to do lists. It brings a Read more great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. In my over 30 year career in childcare, I have experienced preemies and RSV and travel with my work families. I have stayed with my charges while their parents have gone out of town, taken the kids to many lessons and classes, and helped put on birthday parties. I have worked closely with visiting grandparents, occasionally babysat for out of town friends of my bosses, and assisted during family crises and celebrations. I have cared for three sets of twins, and while I count 15 nanny charges in my history, I have literally take care of over a hundred children. This is due to having my foundation in childcare formed in my church, where I was able to teach various Sunday School classes in addition to sitting at individual homes. I am an excellent nanny because I am a child at heart myself, and I can connect with where a child is coming from at all ages. I love all things Disney, I am an avid reader, a passionate lover of the arts and a creator of numerous crafts. I listen to all kinds of music and I am interested in always learning new things and meeting new people. I very much enjoy weaving these interests and personality traits into my work, and teaching the kids things that are important to me: namely being a positive member of society, using proper manners and respecting other people and others' property. I am a proud advocate of my own health and I share what I know with my work families in the hope I am a worthy role model for a healthy diet and lifestyle. I love being a nanny-- and a godmother, and an aunt!!-- more than I can express. It is a truly beautiful part of my life.
