Sitter in Youngstown, Ohio

I'm an
Individual
Creating a Happy, Healthy environment for young children to thrive in, is what I enjoy doing. Yet I feel strongly that in order to do this, humor, creativity, spontaneity mixed in with structure, are key ingredients. Even though structure is important, children don't necessarily want to do, what we want them to do, at any given moment. As a caregiver I have a lot of patience. I'm able to usually get any child to do what is needed, through engaging with them on "their level". With my grandchildren, I've become very well tuned to each of their different personalities. What works for Jane, doesn't work with Harry. Children are not created with a cookie cutter. Raising each child as a "unique individual", is crucial. It will build confidence in them! Confidence in who they are starts in early childhood. Discipline with my oldest daughter was 180 degrees different than with her sister. I literally bought and read a book called, "How to raise a strong willed child, without breaking their spirit". Discipline is very important with children, yet doing so, in such a way, as to not stifle them. I believe in "Balance" Creating well rounded children is a parents goal. I poured into my own children the qualities and characteristics that they would need to be successful in life. They are all in their late 20's... with young children themselves. You never know as your raising children if your "doing it right". Not until they are grown. The fact that my own children are raising their own children in a very similar fashion, as to how they were raised, is refreshing. At that point we start to reap our years of harvest. We plant all those seeds.... Yet its "up to them" to embrace. I know I'm a bit "Philosophical"... ….I suppose it's because I am passionate about children. I'm not simply passionate, I put actions behind the passion. On the lighter side.... this summer with my grandson Grayson (3yrs) we "hunted frogs" outside in the dark! I am his "partner in crime", when it comes to hunting (discovering) creatures of all sorts. Another night with my granddaughter, we caught "fairies" (lightning bugs) I taught my 3 year old grandson how to swim, over the course of a few months. My 2 year old granddaughter and I have an ongoing discussion about "The alligator", that stole her binkies! lol Gwendolyn,(1yr. old) her very favorite thing to do with me is "Patty-Cake" (it's just "our" special thing) Yes. I believe in creating specific, "special things" for each of them. Again...creating "individuality" Ohhhh…. and as a "nanny", I will do light house work, laundry, and food prep! lol :) Sincerely, MiMi
