I HOLD A BACHELOR'S IN PSYCHOLOGY WITH A SPECIALTY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. I AS WELL HAVE DIVERSIFIED EXPERIENCE CARING FOR AND WORKING WITH CHILDREN THAT ARE PHYSICALLY, DEVELOPMENTALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED. MY PASSION LIES IN NURTURING & MENTORING CHILDREN & HAVING BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN AFFORDED REWARDING OPPORTUNI- TIES TO WORK HANDS-ON WITH THE VARIABLE DYNAMICS OF THE FAMILIES I HAVE SERVED. THIS HAS ENABLED ME TO BETTER UTILIZE & APPLY MY EDUCATIONAL SKILLS & THOROUGHLY GAIN A DEDICATED, MORE PERSON-CENTERED EXPERIENCE & UNDERSTANDING OF THE APPLIED PRINCIPLES THAT PROMOTE A CHILD'S HEALTHY SENSE OF COGNITIVE & PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. I ENJOY STAYING ACTIVE & ENCOURAGING POSITIVE, CREATIVE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE FUNDAMENT- ALLY SAFE & AS WELL PROVIDE REWARDING & AGE APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCES. I UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE IN MAINTAINIING OPEN, COLLABORATIVE RAPPORT IN DEVELOPING A STRONG PARTNE- SHIP WITH PARENTS. I HAVE FOUND THAT JUST AS IMPORTANT, IS THE ABILITY TO REMAIN FEASIBLY FLEXIBLE & ADAPTABLE TO DIFFERENT PARENTING TECNIQUES AS WELL AS ROUTINE/SCHEDULE CHANGES. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELF AWARENESS IN SAFETY CONSCIOUSNESS & THE ABILITY TO REMAIN NURTURING & COMPASION- ATE, BUT ALSO MAINTAIN THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE DISCIPLINE IS NECESSARY. I PRIDE MYSELF ON LIVING A HEALTHY, CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE WHILE BALANCING A STABLE MORAL & WORK ETHIC. I HAVE THE AUTONOMY TO COMMIT TO BOTH SHORT AS WELL AS LONG-TERM POSITIONS & CAN PROVIDE A REPUTABLE RESUMÉ AS WELL AS CHARACTER REFERENCES UPON REQUEST.

The joy of supporting families and providing a reliable childcare option drives me. With seven years of experience caring for children, I'm confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your little ones. I pride myself on being a patient, calm, friendly, and approachable caregiver, and I believe in open communication with parents. I provide written daily reports, verbal communication at pickup, and regular updates via text or phone call. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules as guided by the parents' preferences. When it comes to playtime, l enjoy a variety of games, from educational games that promote learning to technology-based games and apps. I have some college education, am CPR-trained, and can communicate in English, French, and Portuguese. I have a car, so transportation won't be an issue.
