Hello there! My name is Shira, and I’m a passionate and experienced child care worker with a love of promoting health, creativity and fun educational activities in young children. I have been working with infants and toddlers for years, and I truly believe that it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job I could do. My focus on health and safety in the child care setting is of utmost importance to me, and I strive to create a nurturing environment for them always. I love incorporating music, art and creative activities into my work with children. I believe children learn beat through play and engaging them in activities that spark their imagination. My experience with infants and toddlers has taught me how to be patient, kind and attentive to the unique needs of each child. I have a gentle and loving approach and take pride in my ability to connect Read more and build trusting relationships with children and families.
