Interests and hobbies:When not crawling around on the floor with children I will be found with yarn and needles in my hands knitting. I usually have at least one if not more projects in my purse at any given time. I also love gardening and seeing what I can grow to eat or just enjoy. Knitting is not my only craft either, I sew, crochet, bead and try nearly everything at least once. I have been known to fix blankies and repair stuffed animals!

Describe your childcare style:Children need love and attention. I am down on the floor playing trains and barbies or playing card games all of the time. I believe that all children crave autonomy and I strive to safely instill confidence in all of my interactions with children. They are whole humans who deserve my respect as much as their parents. I avoid needing to discipline as much as possible by talking with them and letting them know my expectations as well as following the parents style and rules. I am firm but loving, all of the children I take care of love me and tell me that often! I do not belive children under two should watch television and I avoid toys with batteries.

What activities do you like to do with children:I love to go outside with children whether it be out in the yard, on a walk, at a park, or field trips as much as possible. That being said, I am also a homebody and very young children generally are too. Reading is a daily activity that all children need. I love going to the library with children of all ages. I enjoy all the traditional places such as the zoo, aquarium, science museum, and the childrens museum. I also love the less traditional outings of farmers markets, NCAR (school age), and just everyday errands. If presented correctly and age appropriate, nearly everything can be enjoyable to children.

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?Qualities that are important in a nanny are stability, dependable, loving, caring, safety concious and organized. I could go on and on, but these are the ones that stand out most to me. I feel that I am very strong in all of those qualities.
