[nobe-l] blind nanny in training

[Michelle Creedy]

Kayla, have you ever thought of doing childcare in your home as someone
suggested? What about teaching or running a preschool? You might want to
look at situations where kids are being home-schooled as well. Perhaps
helping a family who specifically has a blind child and is looking for
someone who can be a mentor to them. I managed to find a paid position
working with some blind children who are being home-schooled.

Keep talking Kayla. You'll get lots of ideas this way. Remember, we're not
saying that it is impossible to be a blind nanny, it's just that society has
such messed up expectations of the blind that it will be a hard road to
travel. You may want to think of some other options as well.

Michelle

If there are any blind nannies or blind governesses (teachers who teach in
private homes) on this list, please help me. I have decided to go into
private childcare by being a nanny or governess and I need help. Please
contact me either on or off list to share experiences.
Did any of you have guide dogs while working because I am planning on
getting one while in school? Was it hard to find your first family that you
worked for? Are you still in the same field of work or have you changed? Was
it hard if you went to school for nannying or governess training? Thank you
for contacting.

Kayla
