Meet Juliana

• Comfortable with pets

Hi!  My name is Juliana. I have worked with and cared for children for so much of my life and it has become an important part of who I am.  I grew up in the middle of 5 children, so I know what it's like to be an older and younger sibling.  I learned how to change a diaper at the age of 4 (no joke) and was nicknamed the child whisperer at the Children's School I worked at in college for my ability to soothe children, specifically at nap time.   I love to cook and bake. I don't mind doing light housework/cleaning.  I also feel comfortable helping children with homework or other activities. In addition to freelance babysitting throughout the years (newborn-age 12), I worked as a teacher's aide at the Point Park Children's School for the four years that I was in college.  At the Children's School, Read more I learned how to lead children (infant-Kindergarten) in educational play based on their age; I read to them, fed them, built puzzles, played games, sang songs, did art projects, and simply talked with them.  I know that every child is different and I am sensitive to each individual child's needs.  I'm a big supporter of imagination and keeping active and engaged.  I am a singer, songwriter, actress and artist.  I took dance classes for most of my life.  I do yoga.  I paint and draw, and play several instruments.  I don't currently have a space for a garden, but I love to grow things and have many potted plants in my apartment.  I also like to ride bikes and am slowly getting braver with city biking.  I used to play basketball in Middle School and I played many other backyard sports with my brothers growing up.  I love to plan activities, games, and projects to do with kids.  It's important to find a balance between discipline and fun.  I believe that I have that balance.  I love to have fun, but I know when it's time to be firm.  I'm not the type to bend rules, especially when they aren't my rules.  At the same time, I'm pretty easygoing and I adapt well to different situations.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. :)
