My name is Amelia, I'm the second oldest of 11 kids and have been helping care for younger children since I was 13. My first jobs during high school and college were childcare which was only assisted by my courses in developmental psychology (I minored in general psychology). I've done after school care, date nights and morning care. I love kids and can't wait to have my own. I balance imaginative play with more structured play. I have a high tolerance for noise and goofing around but know how to be firm in a positive manner when rules are breached. I also balance allowing kids to play on their own with "entertaining" kids. I'm not a performer or a playmate and I try to make that clear. I supervise play and encourage kids to initiate their own play time independent of me. I am physically affectionate, especially in the case Read more of bumped knees or feelings getting hurt, but I always check with the parents about their rules on hugs. I value physical touch as a means to comfort and help kids grow but I make sure to establish an emotional tie so children are safe and comfortable. I'm very positive, out going, and love to laugh. I'm high energy myself and love asking questions and discovering new things. I also know how important children are and value a positive relationship between me and you the parent. I'm honest, transparent and responsible. Right now I work a morning reception shift at Cecil College so I'm free from 1 pm onwards Mon-Fri and all Sat. I prefer to not work Sun
