I have always been interested in working in childcare. I started babysitting when I was 12, then began as a volunteer teacher at my Church. At 18 I began to work as a teacher in a childcare center. In my time I have nannied for twins and a child with special needs. As a teacher I have worked with children 6 weeks to 12 years. I believe that children learn through consistency, modeling, and attention from the caregiver. I provide love and trust to the children to make their experiences positive and encourage a love of learning. I am patient and kind with each child so they can trust me as safe base as they learn. I pay attention to each child's likes and dislikes in order to make the environment a place that they want to be and can feel successful in. I give positive attention to make them Read more feel secure and good about themselves.
