About Mandy

Dear parent(s), My name is Mandy. I am 29 and a college graduate. I own a beautiful black lab named Eli and a sweet rabbit named Mercy. A few of my hobbies and favorite activities are reading, photography, taking walks with my dog, and cooking/baking. I am seeking for a position where I can use my creativity to enrich children's lives. I worked through college at a daycare center. At the daycare, I worked with ages 2-12. I thoroughly enjoyed using my creativity to plan activities for the students that would not only challenge them but also enrich their lives as well. When I graduated from Mid-America Nazarene University with my elementary teacher's certification, I became a caretaker to an elderly woman in her 90's. I planned activities like making homemade cards after painting paper with autumn leaves. Currently, I am a Kindergarten-1st grade teacher. I use art, science, computer games, videos, play dough, shaving cream, writing, reading, and cooperative learning in my centers. I love to organize activities and think outside of the box to aid each student in learning what they need to learn. Not only have I taught, but I have also babysat and volunteered at my church s nursery taking care of babies. I have taken a class on SIDS, and First Aid. I am CPR certified. As your child's/children's nanny, I would increase their vocabulary, math skills, reading skills, and broaden their horizons helping them become a well rounded individual. At least once a week, I would take your child/children on an outing such as the Zoo, Wonderscope, library, Science City, Sea Life, Deanna Rose Children s Farmstead, children's museums, and the park. Everyday, your child/children will follow a routine with plenty of fun educational opportunities and free play so they can express themselves. Your child/children would do science experiments, be read to, practice their math and reading skills at their developmental level, cook, play games, learn about art and social studies, and learn through song. I am looking for a long-term nanny position. I want to be an extension of your family. I have enjoyed teaching, but I am looking for a position where I can enrich a child's life on a more one on one basis than what teaching affords me. I would love the opportunity to enrich your child's/children's life by being their nanny.
