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

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE. "If a child does not learn the way we teach, perhaps we should teach the way they learn”
