I have been in childcare for well over 40 years. I began babysitting when I was nine, and was the go-to babysitter in the neighborhood. When I graduated from high school at 18, I took care of the newborn baby down the street from my family. I did childcare, light house cleaning, ran errands, and cooked dinner occasionally. While in college, I babysat because I really love interacting with kids, as well as to supplement my income. After college, I decided to move overseas to the Middle East. At the time, I was 30, and because I did not speak the language fluently, I had difficulty obtaining work in my field. I became an Au Pair, mostly working for Embassy families. Many times, it included caring for children for several days at a time. Further, I have 11 years of part time teaching experience, educating elementary and jr. high students, Read more mostly from kindergarten through fifth grades. I love seeing a child's face when they are learning something for the first time. And when they "get" it, and see it in action, it makes me realize how important our future adults are. Currently, I am homeschooling my son, who is eight years of age. I am re-learning things that I have forgotten, and putting to use my varied skills, experience, and talents, including education, communication, and child care. I hope to continue on this venue, and branch out to caring for other children, as well.
