Hello! My name is Janet and I love caring for children! I began working in Childcare 6 years ago, when I was 16 years old because I've always loved being around children and felt I was prepared to take on the responsibility. I began working as a Summer Camp Counselor and Baby-Sitter. Additionally, I have experience as an Overnight-Sitter, After-School Teacher and a Spanish Teacher. I have had First-Aid Training as well as Training in Foundations of Health and Safety. My Dual Degree in Psychology and Sociology included heavy coursework in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. I have also recently received an Advanced Certification in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I love working in Childcare as it gives me the opportunity to foster a safe, loving, learning environment for children. I look to form nurturing and trusting relationships with the children I care for and offer them a structured, yet fun Read more environment. Most importantly, I hope to foster children's curiosity by encouraging their interests and passions.
