Greta H., Child Care in Valparaiso, IN 46383 with 5 years of paid experience

I am a nursing student looking for a fulfilling role this summer! I have experience as a nanny, summer camp counselor, and healthcare worker in the public school system. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with clinical experience as well. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. Growing up with a sibling who has special needs and volunteering as a caregiver with Special Olympics has given me valuable experience providing compassionate, individualized care. Working with children is incredibly rewarding to me. I love getting to know each child's unique personality, supporting their growth and development, and creating engaging activities that encourage learning and outdoor play. Outside of work, I enjoy flying and earned my pilot's license two years ago. I have my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would be happy to provide references or schedule a call. I look forward to connecting with you!

Katelynn  H., Child Care in Valparaiso, IN 46383 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Katie, and I have 5+ years of experience working with children of all ages. While I enjoy caring for children at every stage, my strongest experience is with infants through preschool age. I have worked with children in both childcare center settings and outside of the center, including children with special needs. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels comfortable, supported, and cared for. Most recently, I worked as a lead teacher in a two-year-old classroom, where I gained hands-on experience with daily routines, potty training, diapering, meals, naps, activities, behavior management, and meeting each child’s individual needs. I am comfortable handling the challenges that come with toddlers and young children and can adapt to different routines and personalities. Whether your child needs help with potty training, following a schedule, managing big emotions, or simply having someone to play and learn with, I am happy to help!
