Joneen O. Babysitter in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275.

I have over 30 years of experience working with children, have two children of my own, ages 10 & 14, & am very happily married. I have a Masters in Education, with a specialization in Early Childhood Development, & BA in Child Development/Family Studies. I am a Professor for Child Development and an Advocate for young children, passionate about teaching children & supporting their learning needs by preparing the environment; scaffolding (strategically & individually supporting children stretch in order to help them attain the next level of learning); sharing, incorporating reading & number concepts in activities throughout the day; and by bonding with each individual child to form nurturing a secure relationships. Children learn best when adults are able to provide them meaningful learning experiences connected to things that they are interested in. With infants, supporting secure attachment, communicating joyfully, & building trustful relationships are key. Preschoolers must engage in concrete learning experiences which promote active discovery & build upon their curiosity. ALL children are fascinating, full of wonder and excitement! I wish you the very best of luck in finding the RIGHT MATCH in caregivers for your child's temperament, care, & learning needs. Blessings, JoNeen Ohlaker 310/809-2425 bugs.buni@verizon.net
