Hi Parents. Working with children is a joy. From my early career as a preschool teacher assistant I knew working with children was my desire. I have worked as a preschool teacher assistant in an integrated class working with fun 2 year olds. I am a mom and have 3 grown children. I have years of experience, from being a mom and providing home childcare for wonderful families. My style of care is calm, loving and fun. I am flexible and adapt well. Providing a safe, fun, and loving/nurturing environment for children are essential in the care I provide. I love organizing various age appropriate activities. Daily routine may include a variety of activities including outdoor play (love the outdoors and being active), crafts, reading/educational, creative play, and miscellaneous. In previous positions, I have provided transportation, coordinate and organize activities, homework help, prepared meals, light housekeeping, doggie/kitty care and miscellaneous as needed by Read more a family. Every family is unique and have their own childcare needs. For me, it is very important to have good communication with the parents, understand their childcare needs and provide care that is comfortable and safe for the family. I have provided care for children from infants to teens. My experience also includes working with autistic children/ADHD within my family and in a preschool environment. I am CPR/First Aid certified. References available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile.
