Salimah B., Child Care in Wakefield, MA 01880 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Salimah. I have worked on and off in childcare for about 10 years. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. My most extensive experience has been with infants and toddlers. My formal experience includes working in a daycare setting, home daycare, and most recently (before my temporary move out of state) working for a larger Childcare Agency that serves families in and around the Boston Area who are in need of last minute reliable childcare. I pride myself in my gentle and nurturing approach to childcare, along with patience, as I understand the transition period as a child adjust to being cared for by someone who they are unfamiliar with. Some of the duties I provide as an experienced caregiver includes: Supporting children's emotional and social development by guiding children through engaging and productive activities to a foster fun learning environment, whilst using positive reinforcement and behavior modeling.Open and clear communication with parents about daily activities, behaviors, and meals/sleep logs.Organized and planned age-appropriate reading, crafts and other engaging activities to encourage creativity and expression. Sanitized toys and tables to maintain a clean, safe environment. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading , sewing, studying herbalism, gardening, and traveling. I am available to provide both long term and short term care for families. I’m looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with, whether it be short term, long-term, or just a one-time booking. It’s important that we both feel we’re the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope to connect soon!

Valerie S., Child Care in Wakefield, MA 01880 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello parents! My name is Valerie, I am 30 years old and live in Somerville, MA. I have extensive childcare experience and I will do my best to share the condensed version. Buckle up, I started a babysitters club in high school and never looked back. Being trusted to care for children has been a gift and a job I don't take lightly. I do my best to provide a loving, patient, and playful approach. I practice a mix of positive discipline and the Montessori method. A little about my work experience. I have 6 years of preschool teaching experience and 15 years of professional childcare experience. I have provided before/after school care, overnight care, traveled abroad long term, live in and live out, and most recently ran a nanny share with two toddlers and two babies. I've spent the last 9 summers working at an overnight camp in Vermont with young girls and boys. In my time at camp I've worked in the Wilderness department teaching hard skills, High ropes course, Archery, and led trips in the White Mountains. I have a deep love for nature and enjoy spending time outside. I am currently transitioning out of my nanny job as my kiddos are off to school and daycare. I am pursuing a certification to become a doula and hope to focus on postpartum care/support once completed. In the meantime I am hoping to assist with date nights, interim nanny, travel, overnight, and back up care. In addition, I am able to prepare meals, run errands, care for pets, manage household tasks, house sit, assist in planning educational activities for children, potty train, sleep train, assist with transitions (moving out of crib, becoming an older sibling, etc.) and teach Spanish.
