Hello! Heres a little about me:) I had been working at my schools daycare for 2 years and took 2 years of child dev classes which also had us working in a pre-school classroom. In that daycare I got to work with children ages ranging from 7mths/5yrs I am currently working as a nanny to 4 kids. Picking them up at school and watching them at their home. Ages 7-10yrs. Working with children has been one of the most special things in my life, engaging with different personalities and different happy faces has brought me so much joy to my life. Being able to stoop down to a child's level and engage with them learn with them and explore with them is one of the most gratifying parts of the job. I enjoy being able to give children a sense of involvement. Telling them where we are going at what Read more time and why, makes for a more comforting feeling for people in general but as a little it makes a comforting feeling aswell as having the feeling of ease. Which in return makes great communication!
