My name is Erin. I have 10+ years of teaching early childhood/kindergarten in both the US and China. I can easily manage groups of children all day and keep them entertained, stimulated, and challenged. I can keep them on a daily schedule that best suits their needs. My experience teaching groups of children in kindergarten allows me to easily taylor that framework to suit smaller groups or to work with a child one-on-one in a more intimate home setting. I love to play and always have a variety of activities, songs and games to stave off boredom. I seek opportunities to use my background in theater, art, and dance to keep children happy and engaged. Over the course of my teaching years, I have encountered every personality type and many special and medical needs. I am comfortable administering medication and with first aid. I have years of experience potty training Read more and with challenging behaviors. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desirable behavior. I am extremely patient and respectful of children while also reinforcing firm and reasonable boundaries. I sincerely enjoy the company of kids of any age. It would be my pleasure to help you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any further questions.
