Hi there! I'm an experienced children's care and activity professional (looking after up to 25 children at a time - ages ranging from 3 months, to 11 years) looking for the opportunity to create fun and educationally stimulating experiences with kids. I have been professionally working in this field for six years. My skills are not limited to those with special needs. I've been certified in CPR and first aid training for all ages including infantry. I am more than happy to clean and cook (especially for special dietary needs). I have a passion for establishing uplifting relationships with children; and have been doing so with my large family since I was very young. I am a proud business owner, and fortunately have the freedom to work only weekends. My hope is to occupy my *very* open schedule, by helping a loving family. I whole-heartedly believe in protecting and encouraging Read more the impressionable little ones, with meaningful connections and positive influence. I personally aspire to gain the trust and respect of both the parents and children. I love what I do and I hope to continue for the long term!
