With 25 years experience in education and care if infants and youth, I have always enjoyed watching them grow and learn. Kids share the best stories, make the sweetest and funniest comments about the most random things, and have unique perspectives that are so valuable. My experiences are not limited to but include the following: feeding schedules, transportation to school/activities, nap routines, soothing to sleep, homework routines, enjoying those teachable moments, and just plain following their lead from taking a walk looking for leaves to building the tallest tower of blocks. I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. I am certified in first aid and CPR with reliable transportation. I have worked with a family with two young children, one from 4 months old until she was until 2 1/2. I also helped with the baby since he was born, taking over completely when he was about 4 months old. I look forward to hearing more about your children and family and working together.
