I even worked with a young child who was adopted from Russia once a week for three years. I helped him to develop his language skills and social skills. We did a wide variety of age appropriate activities. I feel that i have various strengths that allow me to be a competant, enthusiastic and reliable sitter. The children that I have worked with become comfortable with me quickly. I have received positive feedback from the parents that have hired me. I get a great deal of satisfaction helping children learn and Read more grow. I absolutely love children of all ages and abilities.
