My name is Camila, and I have 20+ years of experience in childcare and tutoring. I have worked in daycares and privately with several families. I am professional and responsible in my work, using my background in education as a baseline for all my work. I obtained my associates in education from Essex County College in 2008, using my education to tutor kids from K-6th grade in all subjects. I specialize in Spanish tutoring, offering children to learn and communicate with more people around them. Having a second language on a resume has shown to increase chances of being hired in any field, so having your child build a solid foundation could go a long way in their future. I have been, and continue to be, a mother for 4 wonderful children the oldest being 25. I try not to take all the credit, but my children have shown everyone what wonderful people they are. CPR trained. Full vaccinated. Excellent references and clean driving record.

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.
