Marie M., Babysitter in Furlong, PA 18925 with 23 years of paid experience

Hi! My Name is Marie. I have over twenty years childcare experience, and am thirty nine years old. I love taking care of children of all ages and interacting with them, assisting them with using manners, and also love helping school-age children with homework. In addition I truly love caring for infants, as it is amazing to watch how their personalities expand on a daily basis! I have extensive training in the recognition, as well as treatment of life threatening injuries and illnesses in infants, children, and adults. I have wonderful references to give during an interview. I do not post my references on the internet because I would prefer to not have them receiving many phone calls before I even meet a family as a courtesy to them as it became problematic before. I am able to bring all certifications with me during an interview, and will also provide my references' contact information. I also have current clear background checks from the FBI (with fingerprints) and the state of Pennsylvania, and have passed the requirements of Pennsylvania to obtain a child abuse history clearance in order to be approved to work around children in a school setting. As far as discipline in a caregiver capacity goes I believe in time-outs, or time-outs for toys. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement (sticker chart with prize at end of week, pick of dinner or activity etc) I like to try and mimic the parents' way of doing things as best as possible to keep structure in childrens lives, and also try and cater to the activities the specific child likes most (after any room-cleaning/homework if any they’re required to do is done). I am a former critical care medic so have extensive CPR and first aide training and experience. I have a 13 year old son in 8th grade, a 7 year old daughter in second grade and am a stay at home mom. I am highly involved in my kids schools as a teacher aide as needed. I am currently looking for occasional daytime or date night positions **ineligibility for SC enhanced background badge was due to a non-moving traffic citation. I have all other clear federal and state background checks I can provide**

Alexa S., Babysitter in Furlong, PA 18925 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi, I'm Alexa! I grew up in Bucks County, then attended college in Philadelphia and graduate school in Pittsburgh. I am an occupational therapist by training and have worked with individuals of various ages and abilities, most recently at a school for children who have autism. This unique professional lens allows me to help the children I care for to grow and learn in meaningful and engaging ways! I've also worked for many different families over my 14+ years as a caregiver as both a regular and occasional babysitter, and as a part-time nanny. I’ve always loved spending time with kids and have carried that passion into my career as an OT. One area I focus on heavily as a caregiver is getting to know the children on a personal level. I believe it is essential to understand how a child thinks and feels, as well as their preferences and interests, because this allows you to communicate and interact with them most effectively. I promote engaging and substantial conversation about their day at school, their friends, their family, favorite colors, pets...anything to get them expressing themselves and building valuable social skills! I also have knowledge in various areas of child development, so I aim to develop engaging activities that encourage learning and growth. I'm very adaptable and I make a point to learn a family's routine and adhere closely to that to help children to feel comfortable and safe even when their parents are not around.  As an individual, I am outgoing, compassionate, mature and responsible. I am active, imaginative, and adventurous. I am a caregiver who will be right there on the floor or field or playground with your children, helping them to laugh, learn, and grow. Some of my favorite activities include: singing and dancing, riding bikes, exploring nature, doing arts and crafts, reading, playing games and sports, dressing up, cooking and baking, and learning new things. I connect well with kiddos who are active and keep me moving and imagining. I would love to speak with you further about the opportunity to become part of your extended family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you!
