Karin’s Bio I have been a nanny in Vermont for three years and have excellent local references. I currently work part-time, after-school, for a wonderful family in Charlotte. I am looking for more part-time/on-call nanny/babysitting jobs. I am completely trustworthy, responsible and attentive to the children in my care and devoted and loyal to the family I care for. For 11 years I was the founder and head teacher of an International English Immersion Toddler/Preschool/Kindergarten in Japan. I also had an elementary after-school ESL program for our kindergarten graduates. In January 2012, my husband passed away and then the earthquake hit Japan, so I closed my school and moved back to the USA with my 19 year old son. I am a positive, cheerful and trustworthy person who loves the simple pleasures of life - especially the beauty and wonder of nature, the creative expression of the arts and good Read more literature. I love to open children's minds and hearts to the world around them. I love to explore, discover and see things through the eyes of the child(ren) in my care. I am very conscious of providing a very safe and enriching environment in which children can feel free to express themselves. Nothing gives me more delight then see the "light bulb" go on in their heads and the light shine through their eyes, as they share with me what they have just discovered. My educational philosophy combines Montessori, Waldorf & Reggio Emilia methodology. I have a B. Ed Degree in Special, Elementary and Secondary Education, with a specialty in Creativity Development and Gifted Education. I enjoy providing tender loving care and an individualized, creative education to children of all ages, abilities and temperaments. I believe all children have special needs and gifts that can be nutured and cultivated by conscious and loving care-givers. I love encouraging children grow into their full potential. I am an advocate of positive, non-violent behavior management. I am consistent, calm and patient with children. They learn the boundaries and the natural consequences for over-stepping them. They are always treated with respect & loving-kindness. Thank you for reading my profile. I look forward to providing your family with the best possible childcare.
