Currently doing PT flexible on weekends/ evenings. Interested in weekdays. I have recently been a Nanny for 1 child for approximately 2 1/2 yrs, and have a great reference from this mother. Now beginning my new search and will need some time to update my profile. Teaching, playing with and caring for children has always been a, for me the rewards are endless. My strong belief is that education and developmental growth between infancy to age six are the years that create a strong foundation for progressive learning for children’s entire lives. I am looking for a position that allows me to spend concentrated time, having fun doing stimulating learning activities that are age appropriate. The length of the activity will be determined by the child’s interest, attention span, and of course the parent's wishes. My childcare approach is to alternate fun and learning activities, children do better when they Read more have a schedule and plenty of love and encouragement. Most recently, I was employed as a full time live in nanny for 3 children ages 5,3 and and a newborn in upstate NY. During another position, the child (infant to 5 yrs) and I enjoyed many activities; play groups, weekly library programs, the zoo, town park, pool, reading, learning games. Later, I enrolled him in t-ball and preschool while continuing his learning activities at home. At entrance into Kindergarten, he tested at the beginning of first grade in reading and middle of first grade in math on the CA state proficiency exams.   Experience Ø 24 hour care of male child from infancy through age 5 Ø 8 years-employment in public schools; including Board of Cooperative Educational Services of New York and Early Childhood Education Center in Latham, NY for children with disabilities Ø Instructional assistant, tutor and sign language interpreter teaching children with autism, DS, ADD, ADHD, paraplegic, with a concentration in the hearing impaired Ø 15+ years of consecutive volunteer-teaching elementary students in Sunday school, Vacation Bible school and infant nursery Ø Raising four of my own children who each have their own professions Ø For five years, cared for 5 local children from newborn to ten years old, on call basis   Certifications   Ø CPR – Adult, Children, Infant Ø FIRST AID   Thank you for reviewing my profile.
