Greetings! I am an Experienced Caregiver & Professional Educator (20+ years) who is dependable, consistent, patient, kind, intuitive and I love to reinforce children's confidence & self-esteem, as they progress through the "Ages & Stages of Growing & Learning!" I have earned a B.A. Psychology & Master's Degree in Education/Special Ed. I am currently Licensed & Certified via TSPC (Teacher Standards & Practices Commission) of OR. These stringent assessments includes FBI fingerprinting w/additional critical law enforcement background analysis -prior to being cleared for employment as a Teacher within the State of Oregon. I have taught in Idaho & Oregon. Locally, I've taught at Sylvan Learning Center & Salem-Keizer School District from '2005-'2012 at the elementary level. My husband (of 35 yrs) & I have raised two aspiring young adults, ages 17 & 21. On 3/14/15, I will be officially "Certified w/The American Red Cross in 'Advanced Child Care Training w/Pediatric Read more First Aid/CPR/AED.'" I truly enjoy caring & encouraging each child to reach their full potential: "Socially, Emotionally & Developmentally, while engaging in FUN & laughter along the way! Most importantly, I believe that open, honest & ongoing communication w/regard to parents' priorities/wishes for their child's daily routine, specific needs & well being is the key to a successful connection & good match between caregiver & parent(s). I really enjoy quiet story time (w/character voices) and/or being active & playful w/children while enriching their vocabulary and/or education. However, kids may feel like we're only involved in a fun indoor game or outdoor activity! II am accustomed to tutoring w/homework. I am also comfortable w/meal preparation/clean-up, while continuing to attentively supervise children. If your family includes pets ~that is an absolute bonus to me! I would sincerely enjoy caring for, nurturing, supporting your beloved kids, as well as your nuclear family, which may include unique and delightful pets: The "four-legged," children!! Kind Regards, Gracie L.
