Summary In performing as a baby nurse/nanny/child care provider, my goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for children where they can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their own pace. I accept the philosophy that children learn through play and benefit from a structured yet flexible schedule. Arranging activities that stimulate sensory motor development, language development and social interaction; creating an environment and providing materials to encourage exploration and experimentation; and interacting with children in ways that encourage and respect creative expression. I maintain a positive discipline policy that focuses on prevention, redirection, love, consistency and fairness. Bearing in mind that there are disagreements between children, young children especially, who are not fully adept in communication, experience difficulty in expressing their feelings. Sometimes they are challenging and various forms of discipline is needed, if or when this kind of situation arises, I encourage children Read more to solve their problems themselves, promote open discussions and interventions, redirection to another play area or loss of privileges. My aim is to teach children suitable behavior, and I am well trained and prepared to handle inappropriate actions.   Experience 2002 – Present  Self-Employed  Brooklyn, NY Child Care Provider/Baby Nurse/Nanny • Oversee children ages newborn to nine years • Maintain a clean and safe environment • Create educational and recreational activities • Prepare nutritious meals • Meet weekly with parents regarding children’s educational and social development • Accompany children to educational field trips Certification New York State Certified Child Care Provider Family Agency Institute Certified Baby Nurse / Child Care American Red Cross First Aid and CPR Certification References furnish upon request
