Jerlisa J., Nanny in Zachary, LA 70791 with 13 years of paid experience

Hello, everyone! First and foremost let me start by saying thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to view my profile! I am responsible, trustworthy, communicative, and energetic! I am a childcare provider because I love caring for children and I enjoy having the opportunities to experience and entertain children. Secondly, I enjoy working with children because I love watching children grow and develop as well as sharing knowledge. I have worked as a babysitter since I was twelve years of age. The children I have cared for were infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and primary-school age. Ideally, I am looking for a full-time job but I have a flexible availability work schedule. As a matter of fact, I have a younger brother that I have been babysitting since he was an infant. I have watched him develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. I help him with his homework/projects effectively and I must say that he have excellent grades in school which resulted to the honor roll! Furthermore, I am comfortable with light housekeeping duties. I understand that additional responsibilities may include responding to children's needs, making snacks, helping with homework and teaching them to become independent, responsible citizens. In conclusion, I would love to speak with you personally about your family's needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or by email. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be considered for the position, and I look forward to meeting you and your family! See you soon!

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.
