My name is Theresa and I have well over 23 years of experience caring for young children, toddlers and Infants. I have experience and knowledge of child cognitive, social skills development methods and techniques. I have extensive experience in reading, play and quiet time activities. I have in-depth child supervision skills of all ages. Recently, I have cared for a 6 week infant up until 6 months when he was ready for daycare. I also cared for a 6 week old up until he turned 1 and was ready for daycare. I cleaned and sterilized bottles, bottle fed, changed diapers, prepared baby for nap time, interacted in child play and tummy time, story time, played classical music, and taught cognitive skills. I have cared for two mentally and physically handicapped children for five years. I prepared meals, fed, changed, bathed, administered medication, did laundry and dressed them for bed. I also tutored an 11 year old girl with special needs for four years. I picked her up from the school bus, prepared after school snacks, and helped her with her homework. I was her tutor and I prepared her for her tests. She received high honors for the four years that I cared for her. I also watched three young boys, ages ranging from 3-12, for four years. I did homework, food preparation, transportation to and from sports games, and did various outdoors activities with them. Based on my experience, I feel I would be a perfect candidate to work with your family. I am dedicated to provide compassionate home care for those in need, with affordable rates. I am hard-working, honest, reliable, and I take pride in what I do. I am ready to take on new challenges and responsibilities and I am dedicated to providing the best quality of care possible while, constantly striving for excellence. I believe it is best to work together as a team with the family to obtain optimal success in all areas for the best interest of the children and or parents. Each individualized comprehensive care plan will be designed to assess the individuals current strengths and developments so we can recommend and build upon those strengths to achieve desired outcomes for your loved ones. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and I have a clean driving record. I am also willing to travel. Resume, references, and letters of recommendations can be furnished upon request. Thank you in advance, Theresa
