I am the mother of 7, well adjusted, college educated adult children, as well as the grandmother of 7, with two more on the way.. I am currently certified in CPR, AED, First Aid and Blood Born Pathogens. I also have an extensive background in child advocacy and development, including social work case management for the Department of Children and Family Services. I worked closely with foster parents, and taught parenting and role modeling classes to our clientele. I previously managed a Women's and Girls' Empowerment Center for the YWCA. I worked with high risk preteens to assist them with career choices and self worth issues. I have also spent a number of years doing volunteer work with infants, preschoolers and youth in many capacities of leadership and mentoring. Reading, play, educational games, social interaction and FUN are important to the well-rounded development of a child. So I am prepared Read more to interact with you child or children when I am in charge of their care. I shall always respect and carry out the wishes and guidance of the parents. I am their to assist you when you cannot be there. I am a most recently published author of the first of a series of books for preteen children and girls. I believe that nurturing, proper role modeling and working alongside parents as a support system is key to successful child development into a healthy, self-confident and self-sufficient adult. The pre-teen and teen years are especially critical in today's society. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouragement of interests, talents and abilities of the individual, as well as support and development of areas of struggle educationally and personally. I also believe that setting up appropriate yet flexible boundaries, within the guidelines of the parents' leadership is essential in nurturing self-discipline and self control in children of all ages. Every child has the potential for success in all areas, but continuous support, unconditional love and encouragement are key. Thank you for your consideration. Patricia C. 773.383.2575
