Erica B., Nanny in Sunshine, LA 70780 with 30 years of paid experience

I’m a mom, step-mom and grandmother. I love children and I want to spend more time with my grandson so I’ve decided to start caring for him at home for the summer. With that said I have room for more little ones. And it would be great for him to have playmates. I have a college degree. I'm diverse, very caring and I treat all children as I do my own. I am CPR certified as well as AED. I’m also fire fighter and Hazmat certified. I am considering starting a day care center in the near future with my youngest daughter who seems to always have someone’s child in her arms. She adores spending time with the kids even when she is not babysitting. They adore her too.

Amya B., Nanny in Sunshine, LA 70780 with 4 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I enjoy making kids happy and creating fun memories. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing their smiles and knowing I've made their day special. I have experience organizing special treats like cake and ice cream for kids in class, which has taught me a lot about planning and managing events for children. My skills include excellent communication, patience, creativity in planning activities, and a strong sense of responsibility. Additionally, I have completed training in child safety and first aid, ensuring that I can provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the kids in my care. Handling challenging behavior in children requires patience, understanding, and consistent strategies. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Stay Calm: It’s important to remain calm and composed. Children often look to adults for cues on how to react in stressful situations. 2. Understand the Cause: Try to understand the underlying reasons for the behavior. Is the child tired, hungry, or feeling overwhelmed? 3. Set Clear Expectations: Clearly communicate the rules and expectations. Make sure the child understands what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t. 4. Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. Praise and rewards can motivate children to behave well. 5. Consistent Consequences: Apply consistent consequences for challenging behavior. It’s important that the child knows what to expect if they break the rules. 6. Redirect Attention: Sometimes, simply redirecting the child’s attention to a different activity can help diffuse challenging behavior. 7. Teach Problem-Solving: Help the child develop problem-solving skills. Teach them how to express their feelings and find solutions to conflicts. 8. Model Good Behavior: Children often imitate adults. By modeling good behavior, you can show them how to act appropriately.By using these strategies, I aim to create a positive and supportive environment where children can learn and grow.
