Hello, I’m a professional nanny with over 15 years experience working with children ages infant to teen. My education is in early childhood development. Feeding, diapering, playtime and nap time with babies has been a part of my day for many years. I believe in learning through play, reading books, getting outside, and art and music for good sensory exploration. Developmental milestones are important, but acquisition of new skills work best when baby or child is happy. Laughter and giggles are integral to a child’s early learning and building self esteem and confidence when they learn something new. ABC’s and 1 2 3’s are just the basics as I like to use finger plays, songs, story time, and pretend play to motivate a child’s interest. Adventures outside to get good exercise as well as to explore their environment is important in teaching a little one about their world. I believe Read more in hugs when a child wants or needs one. My life has been blessed with the families that I have worked with thus far and I look forward to meeting a new family in which I can become a part.
