Are you seeking a warm, engaging, and safety-conscious childcare provider who brings a unique blend of American Sign Language (ASL) proficiency, positive parenting philosophy, and a strong educational focus to caring for your children? I am a dedicated individual currently expanding my fluency in ASL and looking to support myself by providing exceptional care to families. I possess the valuable ability to communicate proficiently with children who are deaf or hard of hearing, creating an inclusive and accessible environment. Furthermore, I am adept at using ASL with babies and nonverbal children, fostering early communication and connection. My approach to childcare is deeply rooted in positive parenting principles, significantly influenced by the teachings of J.J. Pawel, a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Family Life Educator who developed The Parent's Toolshop. As a mother of multiples who has taken several parenting classes, I have cultivated thriving relationships with my own three grown Read more children through kindness, respect, and consistent positive guidance. My formal experience includes teaching religious education to junior high students and later transitioning to a before-church program where I cared for young children. Recognizing a need for structure in the kindergarten program, I proactively implemented a small educational component that encouraged both in-class learning and parent involvement at home. I am fundamentally educational-minded and believe in fostering a child's growth through play and exploration within a safe and nurturing environment. My care emphasizes learning through everyday tasks, engaging conversations, and meaningful interactions with nature. I possess a strong understanding of child development, which allows me to provide patient and consistent care tailored to each child's individual abilities. I approach challenges with creativity in problem-solving and prioritize the safety of your children, holding a Level Two Self-Defense certification from the Transport Society of America, as well as current CPR and First Aid certifications..
