05.2021 - 04.2024
- I developed a relationship with the parents, maintaining open communication about each child''s progress and needs.
- The family I nannied for had an extra car for me to use, since I didn't have one. I was allowed to use it for transporting the kids to school, their playdates/activities, appointments, or to run errands for the parents.
- I played games, worked on puzzles, and read books to the child.
- I either fed the child meals prepared by mom that, were healthy, age-appropriate snacks and meals, or got take-out. It depended on what the parents were feeling.
- Based on the parents opinions on kids spending too much time on electronics, I monitored screen time usage to promote healthy balance between technology use and offline activities in daily life.
- I would plan special outings or themed days around children's interests. For example, I did weekly aquarium dates because, the child loved turtles and sharks. We would constantly go back and forth between both animals.
- I would find sensory activities online to create, so that the child could use the five senses, and discover what else he could do with them.
