Lydia W., Child Care in Dorchester, SC 29437 with 5 years of paid experience

I was a foster parent for 7 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. Hands on play time and attention is how I work with kiddos. Age appropriate arts and crafts, reading books, and singing/dancing are my favorite activities with kiddos. Infants, toddlers and young children are my specialty. I believe in healthy meals, hands on playtime, being present with the kiddos and setting reasonable boundaries so they can build confidence. Routine is important for all children to succeed. I love to make play a learning experience. Learning outside through exploring, inside helping with food prep (kids will eat more if they are involved with helping), arts and crafts, reading books or games. I love watching their minds learn, grow and build confidence. I have worked with medical fragile infants who have excelled within my care. I also work from home during the week so I have flexibility to accommodate at my house if needed last minute. I am still set up for fostering children, I just do not have my home open for them. My house has been fire inspected and passed.

Yohanna  W., Child Care in Dorchester, SC 29437 with 6 years of paid experience

As a dedicated and nurturing babysitter with experience caring for children. I am a proud parent of two young children, my 4-year old and my 3 year-old, who is on the autism spectrum. This personal journey has deepened my understanding of children's diverse needs and equipped me with the skills to tailor my approach to each child's individual personality and requirements. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, communication, and adaptability, especially when working with children who may communicate or interact differently. I am committed to ensuring that every child I care for receives the attention and support they need to thrive. My goal is to provide a positive and enriching experience for both the children and their families. Thank you
