I have been caring for infants through school aged children for over 20 years as a nanny as well as in a center setting and genuinely enjoy being part of a child's development. I have my Child development associates certificate specializing in infant and toddler care, as well as countless hours of additional professional training. My teaching style is similar to that of the Montessori philosophy, and one that I hold dear to my heart-as I, myself, am a product of the Montessori Method. I am a true believer in nurturing a child's creativity and allowing them to learn through discovering the world around them. I also believe that learning by doing with proper guidance and understanding is the most positive way for a child to blossom. Every child is unique in the way he or she learns, plays, and develops; this being said, I feel every child should be Read more treated uniquely. It is truly gratifying to me to have the opportunity to grow with a child through the years, and I value the importance of being close to, and working side by side with, the entire family. I am very positive and outgoing and love experiencing life. I enjoy taking walks- discovering the outdoors, reading, writing, music, and surrounding myself with loved ones. I am a very happy person, enjoying life to its fullest! These are all activities that I feel should be a part of any child's day. I am very dependable, trustworthy, and honest. I have a lot of energy, am very creative, extremely patient, and always look forward to starting my days with a child ready to explore their world! In my work with children, I have definitely learned-early on-that this is the only 'work' that doesn't feel like such at all, but rather what I truly love to do! Please let me know if you would like to speak further.
