Hello and thanks for looking! Working with children is my chosen profession because I love what I do! Start work with a smile and, after hugs, leave work with a smile. It doesn't get much better than that. I have two degrees, one in Early Childhood Education, another in Early Childhood Development and a diploma in Early Childhood Studies. I am also a Certified Nutritional Consultant and have a special knack for getting kids to request healthy foods. My diet is health conscience, colorful and delicious; they can't help but beg for some. I'm outgoing, enthusiastic, very patient and understanding. I was an Art Director for Boys & Girls Club and taught classes including painting, crafts, basic piano lessons, and more. Also, I worked with a family as a Douala for a mother transitioning back into the workplace after her second son's birth. We were a team in caring for Read more the baby (including 3 a.m. feedings and changing), the older child, and household responsibilities. I have a great deal of patience with swaddling, shushing, "womb imitation" and walking/bouncing to Bach- all the classic infant fun stuff. Plus, I love finger plays, animals sounds and reading books everyday with a variety of voices. For three years, I worked with a wonderful family in Grasonville. Together, we incorporated education and social skills into all our music & movement, stretching, outdoor activities. We grocery shopped and cooked together (safety first of course), with a focus on nutrition, "taking good care of our bodies". I am experienced preparing plant based, GF, dairy-free and, of course, good 'ole American cuisine. We were regulars at indoor and outdoor parks, library, play group, as well as farms, museums and any other adventures we could find. Daily, I send pictures and videos to keep you smiling and involved. We focus on holistic development, having fun while learning academic, personal and social skills. Several of my kids were reading and writing by three, using manner words, comforting friends, and so much more. Simply put, kids are my passion.
