Hi! I’m J’Lee and I am going into my third year full time at OSU Mansfield as an English major. I’m thinking of pursuing a career in education so I like including educational games and reading during playtime! I’ve recently babysat a newborn last summer and previous to that have babysat occasionally for various family members. I love being around kids and feel like they can not only learn so much from us but we can from them.

Hi Family! My name is Savanna and I appreciate you taking the time to learn about my skills and why I may be a good fit for you family. I moved from Ohio to Florida in 2021. It had been my dream to live by Disney for 7 years. I attribute my love for Disney to my “dreamer" mentality.I have been working with children professionally for 17 years starting at 18 years old. My parents noticed my love of caring for children and my nurturing personality and enrolled me in babysitting classes at our children’s hospital at 12. Learning those beginning skills, I began babysitting for neighborhood children and family friends. It was always my intention to work with children as a career, and I combined that with my love for traveling by becoming an Au Pair in Australia, and then again in Cancun, Mexico. I settled back in to the United States and decided to become a preschool teacher. One of the biggest skills I gained was my ability to lesson plan, and I take that with me even as a nanny, creating monthly themes broken down in to weekly themes. I include sensory, science, story time, art, and dramatic play. My time as a preschool teacher is something I will cherish, but I missed being in an in home setting and growing with the children on a more personal level. I love being able to travel to fun adventures with children and have a more flexible routine, so I went back to being a nanny, and have been solely since 2015. I have worked with children ages newborn to 12 years old. I have multiples experience and have worked as a night nanny for newborn twins. I also have experience transitioning children in to a new role as a big sibling. I have potty training and early literacy experience and have taken the course for “handwriting without tears” I am very good at multi tasking, and have worked with up to four children on my own daily. I handle stress well, and am good at coming up with on the spot solutions. I feel I work well with parents and have a team like attitude.It takes a village to raise children, and I love being apart of that village. While I have my own ideasof gentle parenting, I always make sure to follow the parent's parenting plan to ensuring consistency and respect. I am also open to giving suggestions when asked. Montessori is a big practice of mine. I teach real life skills to my charges including decision-making, self direction, and hands on learning. I give choices and allow the children to make their own decision to give them inclusion in their daily life. My goal is to help raise confident and independent children. I thrive on schedules, but also go with the flow when things suddenly change. I feel children thrive on soft schedules to give them expectations and be prepared for each day. I have done travel and overnight care and am very comfortable with both. I am eager to tackle what ever task is given to me each day. It is my goal to make the parent's life easier so they can live free from as many worries or tasks as I can take on for them, giving them time to enjoy family. I value long term care and love to stay as long as I am needed. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my skills and experiences. I look forward to hearing from you! My best, Savanna Steward
