MY BELIEFS AS A GENUINE NANNY
I believe...Every child deserves respect. They may not be adults, but they are still little humans. They should be talked to respectfully and told what is happening in their everyday routine, especially during caregiving acts like changes, and feedings. etc. If we allow children to participate in their care, they feel safer with us!
I believe...Allowing a child to learn in their way, and at their own pace is immensely more valuable than pushing them in a direction that we want them to go. It is difficult to watch a child use a toy, for example, in a way that seems "wrong" to us. But if we allow ourselves to observe instead of intervening, that's where the magic happens! Play is an innate behavior in every child, and allowing that to blossom with little interference from us, allows for endless opportunities for them to create, discover, and realize what sparks genuine interest in them.
I believe...Open communication is the best way for families and nannies to find harmony within a home together. Check-ins between nannies and parents are so important to keep things running smoothly. When everyone feels safe to openly discuss concerns, or what they feel has been working within the dynamic of the home, especially about the child(ren)'s developmental needs, everyone is so much happier.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A NANNY?
Being a nanny is one of the most unique careers in this world. You are given the rare opportunity and privilege to be allowed inside a family's home to become a vital part of their dynamic and to help that dynamic run more smoothly. I love the feeling of being a part of a team, a small community. And I love and adore children. The feeling of being influential in the growth and development of a little human never gets old. I get to see the world through their eyes, and there's nothing better.
