Find experienced child care providers in Wellsville, PA

I've been in childcare since I was twelve years old, eighteen entire years! I used to babysit for my mom and dad, as the oldest sibling in my family of seven children. Friends from our community knew I was good with the little kids and asked for me to come and watch theirs, and it all snowballed from there. I've worked in church daycares, at summer camps, for six families as a private child caretaker, in schools as a teacher's assistant and more. I am comfortable working with autism spectrum kids, too, since my a lot of my family are on the spectrum. That's actually how I met my first nanny kiddo; he was on the spectrum and we became friends at the shop I worked at when his mom and he would come in to eat. His mom came in one day and said he loved me and their nanny had to go, so could she pay me a dollar more than what I was getting paid now and full time? It was all very kismet. I worked for them full time for about a year after until I moved. I am super creative but also super responsible. I like the balance of art and productivity. I love making lists and checking them off: it gives me a sense of purpose and calm and tangible proof that I'm making moves in the right direction. I am alllll about finding creative ways to be kind and handle any kind of upset with empathy and compassion and compromise. Not even lots of crying stresses me out; I just view it as another avenue of processing in a big world that kids have, among many others, of getting their feelings out when they feel they can't properly express it with their language. I like to find things to do to change the mood when things like that come up, like a game or a trip, instead of letting them get too stuck in the upset. Or sometimes we sing the Breathing Song from Esme and Roy! My biggest strength as a nanny is my commuication skills with parents. I want to work alongside you as another team member and an advocate for your family! I'm there to make your guys' lives all a little easier. If there's anything to do that would make that happen, I more than want to hear about it and it means so much to me when it's expressed. I show my love and care for people through acts of service, so that's always been a great source of pride for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified, have my own car and am currently working for two families. I started working with their children since they were 6 months and 8 months and they're now both almost 2 and 3.

Children have always been a part of my life. I believe children are our future and nannying/working as a preschool teacher is a responsibility I take very seriously. It is very important that we are listening, talking, asking questions, answering their questions, engaging in creative child led activities, laughing , having fun and building their self esteem. I have worked as a private nanny in NYC and Pennsylvania. I have also worked in preschools in Pennsylvania, as well as an international preschool/kindergarten in Bangkok, Thailand. I am certified in a progressive teaching strategy, the Early Years Foundation Stages. I am certified in "Letters and Sounds", which is a phonics program for children learning to read and write. I have taken courses in Play based learning and also teacher enrichment classes for speech therapy. I have my associates degree in Human services. I also have my Cambridge teaching certificate , which I obtained while teaching English to Syrian refugees. I have a resume and reference letters I can send upon request

Hi! My name is Kristen - I'm 31 and live in Camp Hill, PA. I have a full-time job in healthcare, but I wanted to offer babysitting and pet-sitting services on nights and weekends.

Hey! I'm Brianna. I have a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology, and a Master's in Public Health. I've been babysitting throughout college, and I'm also the oldest of four. I have two siblings that are on the spectrum, one of which also has ODD; between this, and my experience in tutoring centers, I've had significant experience with children who have special needs. I spent my summers working as a camp counselor at Camp Pecometh, where I was responsible for 5-10 children at a time, ages 5-16. On the weekends, I volunteered at my church's nursery, taking care of newborns to 3-year olds. My specialties are craft time, early Spanish education, and kid-friendly snack prep. I have background checks available, as well as additional references. I am fully vaccinated.
