There are those that love children. Especially the little ones. Often they want to hold , cuddle, baby talk and give smiles to them. It is hard not to smile at a little one. Than, there are those that not only love children, but respect them. Regardless of their age, all children have a certain individuality that deserves to be guided, enhanced and molded. Respecting a child as their own person is what makes a good teacher, caregiver and partner to families raising their children. This is where I come in. Ever since my mother took me to get my babysitting license at the age of 13, I have always had this connection with children. From my family, friends or even a perfect stranger who's child just comes up to me, I have been known as the one that "gets children." Not only do I understand their development, but I Read more also see the world through their eyes at every age from birth -teen years. Although my specialty ages are birth-5, I easily adapt to any age. My life lead me to travel the U.S in search of myself, have my own child and eventually find a partner that was able to let me stay at home and raise my child. He is turning 14 and will soon be in high school ! How time flies! The last 4 years I went back to school and am seeking a degree in Early childhood Education and with only 12 credits shy of my associates degree , am able to help a loving family care their children. I recently worked as an assistant teacher with 3 and 4 year olds and I loved my kids ! I miss them already knowing they will go and grow to be the best people . I believe children learn through play, music and reading. I love to read books. Technology is advancing and it is important for myself to make sure children appreciate the library and the many joys it can bring. Music is a great tool for interacting with children. I often use music when teaching about things and studies have shown it helps memory. I still remember songs from when I was in 2nd grade! *** More special tidbits about myself -I have perfect driving record and fully insured -I do not smoke -I have 2 fish tanks, and 2 little dogs name Jazzy and Enzo and a cat name Toby who we found under a tree at 3 weeks old! -I live with my partner of 13 -Currently attending Harper College -worked as assistant teacher for last 2 years -love karaoke and active animal lover (favorite animal are turtles) Any more questions you have I would love to tell you . I hope I can fit in your family!
