MY NANNY STYLE:

➢ Like to have educational, yet fun experiences

➢ Log-book so that parents can know what their children’s daily food-intake, growth, and activities are so that the parents don’t miss out on anything and so that we can be on the same wavelength.

➢ Crafts, songs, games, outside play, field trips? – like to stay active because young minds always need to be used because it helps in growing the mind, senses, and experiences.

➢ First-aid. I am great with taking care of medical needs.

➢ I would love to cook, clean, and do errands for the family, that way when the parents come home from work, they don’t have to worry about doing anything but spending the quality time they need with their children.

➢ I just want to have fun and have a family’s children be in a safe, healthy, growing environment!! =)
