About me

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I have an older sister who I'm very close to. After I graduated from High School, I started working at a fast-food restaurant. I wanted to be independent and earn money while going to college. I managed to go to school and work at the same time.I graduated with a degree in BS Hotel & Restaurant Management. I am a single parent who had to leave Manila 15 years ago. I had to look for other opportunities to provide a better future for my son. I missed being with my son. I wanted to be surrounded by children so it would somewhat ease the pain of being away from my son. This is what led me to become a Nanny. By taking this path I was able to nurture, guide, teach and care for other children like they were my own. To teach babies and help them reach their milestones is a satisfying fulfillment. 
      I have been a nanny for 15 years and I am thankful that I never had any incidents or accidents during my care with the children. My top priority is always the child! As early as 4 months old, I started teaching the baby and parents sign language. The longest and first family I worked with was 6 years (Full time Nanny/Light Housekeeping). I started when he was 2-month old and ended when he was 6 years old. The second family was for 2 years (Full time Nanny/Light Housekeeping) and the baby was 3 months old till age 2. The third family were first time parents (Full time Nanny/Light Housekeeping). I started when their daughter was 3-month old. After 3 years they had another baby boy. It ended when their daughter was 4.5 years old while their son was 1 year old and 5 months. 
      With all of the families I worked for, I always made sure I pay careful attention to all tasks related to the baby. I puree foods when the child starts eating solids and manage the personal hygiene of the children. I teach them how to reach milestones, read books, sing & dance with them. I play educational activities & creative games, book classes & activities. I also drop them off & pick up to/from school and bring kids to any extra curricular activities. I LOVE sending pictures to the parents and giving them updates through text messages.
    I always have interaction & communications with the child. I give comfort to the child when they're sad if their parents leave for work. I compliment them if they do something good and celebrate when they reach achievements.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...

I always teach the child to become independent like letting them pick what clothes and shoes they want to wear and putting it on their own. Teaching them to put the dirty clothes in the hamper and shoes on the shoe rack, organize their clothes and room, fix their bed (in anyway they can), setting up the table and bringing plates to kitchen after each meal. Always clean up the toys especially their books. After using certain things, I remind them to put it back in the proper places like sunglasses, any hair accessories and other add ons. Most importantly I teach them what personal hygiene is. Sometimes I asked them to help me fold clothes where I teach them how to fold pants and let them put away their clothes in the closet. During the summer I love playing with the children at park that has sprinklers. I teach them to water the plants/ flowers in the house or garden. I love doing puzzles, boardgames, pretend playing, building a tent using blankets and read lots of books. I love taking them to the park, have picnics, playing, running and chasing each other.
