FIRST AID/CPR/AED CERTIFIED FULL TIME CARE GIVER WITH DAYCARE EXPERIENCE!! I come from a very large family in which I am the oldest, so naturally I assumed the caregiver role. So technically, I have been in training my whole life! When my younger siblings no longer need my care, I moved on to watching my nieces, nephews, and friends' children. I have experience with caring for girls and boys from the time they are infants all the way through teenagers. I have two boys myself, a toddler and a teenager, so I know how much patience is required when caring for children of all ages. More recently, I have had the opportunity to work in an active daycare in which I was responsible for up to 26 kids by myself or 35 kids with the help of an assistant coach. Our responsibilities were to transport children to and from school, Read more provide snacks, help with homework, and keep the children as active as possible. We did a variety of activities including extreme jump roping, hula-hooping, and long list of structured active games. This daycare also provided me with the opportunity to care for children with special needs. I am especially grateful for this because it taught me how to be the empathetic caregiver that these children need in order for them to be comfortable with the assistance I provided them. Overall, your children will be provided a routine that suits their individual needs as well as creative activities and most importantly, a safe environment!
