Hello! I hold a Masters in Early Childhood Education and have worked as a teacher as well as child care professional for about 18 years. My love of working with and caring for children began early on and by the time I was 14 years old, I was earning money as a babysitter. I am very skilled in supervising and caring for children. I enjoy developing games and activities that facilitate children’s various goals, interests and learning styles. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find it incredibly rewarding taking care of them. I have an extended family and I often take their 3 children: Emma 8, Emilie 6 and Ethan 4 on day trips and expose them to many cultural and fun activities. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I also use some sign Read more language which even the youngest toddlers love. I have a friendly and pleasing demeanor and enjoy working with others. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how I can benefit your family. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. ~Dara
