Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being part of their growth and development. After more than 25 years of working with children, I still find it rewarding to build meaningful connections with them, learn about their individual personalities and interests, and create a safe, nurturing environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities, encouraging their curiosity, and making sure they feel valued, heard, and supported. What experience do you have? I have over 25 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings and age groups. My professional experience includes working in a daycare/preschool as a counselor, lead teacher, supervisor, assistant director, and currently as a director. These roles have given me extensive experience caring for children, supporting their social-emotional development, planning and supervising activities, communicating with Read more families, managing routines, and creating safe and positive environments. Because I have worked with children in both direct-care and leadership roles, I understand the importance of being attentive to each child's individual needs while also maintaining structure, consistency, and safety. I am comfortable caring for children of different ages and adapting my approach to their developmental level and personality. What skills and training do you have? My experience has helped me develop strong skills in child development, communication, supervision, behavior guidance, safety, and creating engaging age-appropriate activities. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, organized, and comfortable handling the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for children. I also have extensive professional experience working with families and understand the importance of clear communication and building trust with parents and caregivers. My years in childcare leadership have provided me with a strong understanding of health and safety practices, classroom management, child development, and maintaining a safe, supportive environment for children.
