Hello, My name is Tyra. I have experience working with a diverse background of people, ages, mental, and physical disabilities. I have been entrusted in caring for babies from birth into their teenage years. My experience includes, overnight babysitting, managing and help regulate children’s emotions. Prepared daily activities, shopping, help complete homework and assignments. I also help the children to reach their milestones. My approach to learning is to keep them active in learning and engagement throughout the day with play and verbal communication. I clean as I go with the children and I also have them engage in their own daily upkeep. I believe the first few years of life are the most important in their mental development. I believe engagement and child interaction is very important when it comes to their learning. I adhere to following the guidelines and routines set for the child whether it be dietary Read more restrictions or stringent/stern routines. I believe a parents input is very crucial to the child’s day to day. I am aware that caring for the needs of someone is not always sunshine and rainbows but I do my best to make the best out of every situation there is always an opportunity for growth. I would love to work with and assist the needs of your family. I have a strong sense of morals and values with integrity. I am also knowledgeable in Emergency Response, First Aide, and certified in CPR through AHA. A strong foundation is crucial. I believe Core Values are the foundation of a strong sense of community within our jobs and everyday life. Through my diverse experience, compassion, and willingness to grow I believe I would make a wonderful nanny/babysitter for your children.
