Hi! My name is K. I have always loved children & especially enjoy teaching & laughing with them & seeing them grow as individual lil humans in their own amazing ways. I’m single with no children of my own to care for so my schedule is flexible & I can be available for you on short notice. I have 24 years of experience in childcare with all ages from newborn to adults with special needs. I specialize in individualized learning curriculum & training so I can teach anything you need from newborn bottle or sleep training to potty training to language & literacy from birth through grade school to after-school & summer care. And I can help with anything you need from establishing healthier habits & discipline techniques to cleaning toilets & petcare. We are blessed with only one priceless childhood so I would be honored if you allow me Read more to be a part of this once in a lifetime opportunity during your child’s vital early learning years to help them learn about our world & thrive in it. I’m looking forward to enjoying learning & laughing together & being a trustworthy positive influence in your child’s future. I am highly attentive & interactive, sensitive & gentle, consistency & versatile, creative & innovative, clean & organized, highly accommodating. I value safety first, clear communication, planning & preparation, compromise & peace. Thank you for considering, K.
