For years I've worked in the Early Head Start and Head Start employment sector. I started off as a Home base Educator in which I went into the homes of various families to provide early childhood education and activities. The families were diverse and full of culture. I created individual lesson plans based on the child's milestones using Creative Curriculum. Throughout the years, I received training in Individual Family Service Plans and Individual Education Plans. I received trainings in human family development, early intervention, play therapy, family engagement, and creative curriculum. I am also familiar with Fussy Babies curriculum and Parents as Teachers curriculum. I have a passion for working for children. I have years of experience working as a Family Support Specialist and Health and Safety Coordinator. I am currently in search of a nanny position due to my passion in working with children and youth. My education background Read more is in Sociology and I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Master's Program at Governor's State University. I want to work with children, youth and families in the future. I have years of experience caring for children in my family, with friends, and even clients.
