Hello, how are you? I am so delighted you decided to take your important time to look over my bio. Let me begin by saying I love children at all ages. Mine have grown now. I decided over a year ago to change professions and become a nanny and personal care giver. I believe all ages are important for the world to function. I am a hands on caregiver, give love and kisses and positive reinforcement but redirection as needed and to help them to make the right choices. I think children learn by doing. I think reading and interacting with other children from a very young age. I am a big believer in using our local libraries for age appropriate programs (baby time, Kindergarten preparation, Music times) I think children learn by exploring as well through arts and crafts, make believe, or just playing outside using their imagination. I Read more have cared for newborn to teenagers. They all have their own unique developmental stage. I am CPR certified, have all my shots up to date, and have extensive experience care with medically sick children as well as children with developmental delays. My services available are all needs for the child(ren) - bathing, dressing, meal prep, clean up, laundry, dishes, laundry, errands, and grocery shopping, pet care, transportation to activities, homework help part time, full time, as needed, or regular date night.
