Annette M., Child Care in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 7 years of paid experience

 I have been working with infants and children for the last 10 years and I also have three children of my own. I have my Associate's degree in Psychology and I am continuing my education in hopes to become an Adolescent Clinical Therapist. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love working with kids on a personal level by learning their personality. I use a hands-on approach to gain the trust of both parent and child. Providing childcare isn't just a job, it's accepting to play a large role in a child's life and help guide them as they grow and develop. I love fun and smiles but I also like to promote educational activities appropriate to the child's age (for example going over the alphabet or doing puzzles with a toddler, or practicing tummy time with an infant!) I strive to become not only their babysitter, but one of their best friends. I have a genuine love and passion for kids and I have realized this is my life's calling. I think that providing childcare would be the best job for me while I am continuing my education because it's doing what I love, working in the direction I plan to go with my career and also allows me to keep my son with me while I work, which gives him the opportunity to interact with other children. I have excellent writing and verbal skills, my specialty is drawing and arts & crafts, skilled hider, below average seeker, animal lover, excellent board game player, excellent story time reader and swing pusher, great at cuddling and I know the tickle monster very well, excellent boo-boo kisser, and I may not be the best singer or dancer but that doesn't stop me from putting on a show. I don't mind embarrassing myself for a laugh (well for the kids at least)! It's so easy to make them smile and I absolutely love doing it.

Grace M., Child Care in Locust Grove, VA 22508 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Grace Gowin. I am 27, and currently seeking employment as a part time nanny/babysitter. I graduated from John Tyler Community College in 2017 with a certification in Early Childhood Development and Education. Through the certification, I was trained in different teaching methods, health and safety measures, developmental milestones, constructive, healthy ways to enforce discipline, dietary needs of different age groups, and using play experiences as learning opportunities. I have worked extensively with children of all ages throughout the last several years in numerous work and volunteer positions. These positions included assistant teaching in the toddler room at Mechanicsville Christian Center, serving as a MOPS childcare provider, and working with special needs children in their Sunday school class (also at Mechanicsville Christian Center). I have also been a nanny for almost 9 years now for 11 children across 5 families (ages ranging from a 3 day old newborn to 9 years old). I have loved having the opportunity to become such a big part of the families I’ve worked with, and deeply cherish the relationships I’ve built with their children. Teaching, caring for, and playing with children are the things I enjoy more than anything, and I consider it the greatest thrill and privilege to continue finding employment and enjoyment as a nanny of little ones.
