I remember my first job like it was yesterday. I was 16 and I wanted to gain some experience, yet have my own schedule. So, I decided to become an independent contractor and babysit children. I first began babysitting Maddie and Matthew who quickly made me realize how much I loved children. Matthew used to always ask for apples dipped in honey and to this day, I remember him when I have some. I had such a great experience with them that I continued to babysit children for eight years after. During my years as a Nanny, I worked with four different families and I gained lifelong lessons that have continued to help me every day. First, I learned the importance of building relationships with my clients. It was very important to me that parents knew that their children were safe with me and had completed all necessary duties such as finishing homework, eating dinner, and all- around, being a good role model for them. I also learned the importance of valuing each family’s needs individually. Although I babysat two families with two sets of boys, they were completely different. This taught me the importance of accommodating to different needs and wants. For example, one family believed highly in structure while the other didn’t. I learned how to adjust my skills and qualities for each family differently. Above all, I learned most from the children I babysat. I learned that timing is of the essence and trusted it to build relationships with each one. The effort I gave was directly related to my results of being an excellent, reliable, and trustworthy Nanny. Many realtors focus on closing deals quickly because they want their client to succeed in purchasing or selling their homes ASAP. Babysitting taught me the importance of completing task efficiently. That is, the work that’s needed is done precisely, yet at a quick rate. My goal is to make your home-buying or selling as smooth as possible. It is important to me that I not only find you your dream home, but I leave you with great memories in this process so when you look back, it will be a memorable journey. “The best journey takes you home…”
