Winter Learning

This winter has brought us very little snow and some extremely cold temperatures. Mountain Kids Nanny still manages to get outside for walks, sledding, and park adventures. As long as everyone has proper gear, even the infants can be out for at least 15 to 30 minutes before we go inside to warm up. Some of our favorite indoor winter places to play in Durango are: the Library, the Powerhouse, and the Train Museum.

In January, we started the year learning about germs and poop. Then, we advanced into different types of animals. It has been fun using YouTube for a game of listening to animal sounds, then having the children guess what makes the sound. Allowing the kids to decide what art projects and sensory activities we do each day has helped them stay engaged and excited about learning.

I have always had a passion for caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and willing to work with other ages. With my continuing education in Early Childhood Education I bring 6 years of professional experience from a toddler classroom to your home along with a lifetime of nanny and babysitting experience. I am a detail orientated, organized, multitasker who loves to create simple lessons to help encourage your child to reach each developmental milestones. Working with mixed ages or the same while creating a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your little ones is my primary goal as a nanny in your home. Cleanliness is of the up most importance to me and I can help your littles learn the basics about washing hands and encouraging picking up after play with fun little songs, supported by role modeling from me. I would enjoy cooking for your child, meal prep to make dinner easy for when you come home and doing some light housework doing nap time.
