Adventure Nanny Of The Week: Marni Kent
Here at Adventure Nannies, we have a special category for childcare providers with the type of attitude and experience Marni Kent exudes. That word is “unicorn” and we rarely get to use it. We are beyond proud to represent Marni at Adventure Nannies.
Experience:
A self-described “hard-working, genuine, no-nonsense woman”, Marni has 30 years of career nanny experience under her belt. She possesses a true love and interest in childcare that is one-in-a-million. Marni is constantly seeking to refine her skills and has attended and presented at countless child care related conferences and workshops. In addition, Marni loves to research child care practices and has worked with children who possess a wide range of physical and mental abilities.
“After working 30 years as career nanny I can proudly say that I love what I do as a nanny and ten- twenty years from now- I will still be doing childcare. I respect children and affirm that they are our future.We need to do what we can to mold them into decent and caring individuals. My experience includes working with newborns to teenagers, and I find each stage a welcomed challenge. Flexibility is a top priority as a caregiver, and after working with an ADHD diagnosed child, an autistic diagnosed child, and cranky teenagers, I have learned extreme patience.”
Skills:
Communication is one of Marni’s strongest skills, and she uses it to work effectively with both parents and children. Marni is an expert at cultivating long-term relationships and has a keen understanding of the children and families she works with. The safety and welfare of children are her main priorities, and she enjoys being a positive role-model in her immensely important job as a childcare provider.
“I like the one-on-one relationship I develop with the children and the parents, and I highly respect the family-unit atmosphere.”
Marni’s additional skills include proactive household management, domestic and international travel, and high-level cooking. In fact, Marni is a graduate of San Francisco’s Tante Marie Cooking School! She combines these skills with a love for the outdoors to cultivate a healthy, balanced atmosphere for the entire family.
Future:
Marni is looking forward to finding her next family to collaborate with long-term. She brings a true gold mine of knowledge to the table and looks forward to cultivating an atmosphere of mutual respect + productivity in her next role. The entire staff here at Adventure Nannies believes that Marni is one of the most skilled childcare providers that we have ever come across.
