Hi! My name is Dorothy and I am interested in a full time nanny position. I have a bachelor's degree in Special Education and am a certified teacher. I am certified in infant and child first aid and CPR. I have had experience as a nanny with newborns, infants, and toddlers as well as childcare and tutoring experience with older children. I have also had childcare experience with twins from a very young age. I have worked for the public school system, the state of new jersey school system and Early Intervention, working with children ages birth to three with developmental delays. I am a patient and gentle woman and believe that positive reinforcement such as praise and warm hugs are the best way to shape good behavior and that reading and singing should be a part of every child's day no matter what age they are. I have taken Read more the children in my care on outings to the playground, story time at the local library, gym and swim classes and restaurants and the mall when it becomes appropriate. I have a lot of energy and love taking walks and being outdoors. I think that age appropriate play is the best way for a young child to learn. I have arts and crafts ideas for when the child is old enough to participate in some way. I love children and I love working with families. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that I am a good fit for your family.
