Warmest greetings to all current and prospective clients and families! My name is Caroline, and I am a M.A. Ed. graduate of the University of Connecticut. A cohort member of the NEAG School of Education's Integrated Bachelor's and Master's Degree Program, I am a certified Elementary teacher of 3+ years. From age 11 onwards, my experience as a dedicated, spirited, and compassionate nanny/babysitter has spanned across a diverse array of age ranges and ability levels, encompassing special needs and typical children from newborn to adolescent development. Key teaching strengths: Leadership, collaboration, enthusiasm, organization, positivity/energy, dedication, high family engagement, openmindedness; tech. savvy, continuous quest for challenge /improvement; willingness to seek constructive feedback; flexibility and optimism. Extensive exposure to diverse pedagogies and teaching methods has occurred throughout my Neag School of Education formal training and years of professional experience. In addition, I was actively involved in numerous community outreach and childcare-oriented organizations Read more on the UCONN Storrs Campus, which included the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization and America Reads literacy improvement. I acquired 7 years of experience as a parks and recreation instructor for recreational youth summer camp programs, weekly gymnastics/swimming classes, and adaptive karate/fencing group lessons. Whether orchestrating larger gatherings of 20+ youngsters or supervising families of 1-6+ siblings, I exert every effort to ensure the safety, comfort, and educational exploration of the children in my charge. I believe that every child is blessed with unique talents and attributes regardless of their background/history, and strive to enrich these qualities in a supportive learning environment where both the child and adult can flourish. Providing encouraging, consistent, and reliable care to all young children, while abiding by the disciplinary routines of each individual family is crucial to their development - a value which I embrace in childcare pursuits. Therefore, I am willing to cater my adaptable and nurturing childcare methods to suit the needs of your household. Furthermore, I am receptive to relocation and am immensely committed, discreet, polished professional educator. Energetic, unquenchably curious and kind, proactive, goal-oriented achiever, generous, and cheerful, I look forward to offering my services to your special family!
