If you need a break from your infant and/or toddlers, I might be a good fit for you! I will work with older children, however younger ages are where I thrive. I love aiding infant and toddler development as they change so fast, yet what you teach them sticks. I only have one quarter left studying speech therapy so I also highly value creating a language enriching environment for infant/toddlers to communicate as much as they can. "I am a responsive caregiver who relys on induction to maintain set boundaries" is how my child development and psychology of child rearing classes would have me describe my style. However, all that really means is I value fufilling emotional and physical needs, and use validation, empathy, and age appropriate explanation to help kids regulate and change behavior. My mom is a doula, and I got started in childcare working 16-30 hours a Read more week my last two years of high school through multiple families of hers. My most notible experience is the two years I got to contribute to the development of a 3-month old and a 2-year which I will cherish forever. Currently, my availability starts at 3pm on weekdays, with weekends being more flexible. If you are interested in a date night my prices are closer to $17, but if you are looking for recurring help my price increases depending on the level of home help wanted. When previously nannying, I also got experience with laundry (folding and put away), home-cooking (I have two references that will mention the asparagus/broccoli I cook), and organization (kids toys, kitchen cabnets, closets), so if you ever want to go out during a nap time and come home to folded laundry and a clean, organized kitchen, I'm the one for you!
