Warmest of greetings! My name is Carmen, some call me Carm or Charm. :) I have always had a soft spot in my heart for young people. Other than admiring their tiny hands and feet, I love watching their freedom to play, imagine, and be themselves! Adulthood has given me so many life experiences thus far that has shaped my thinking and behavior in such a positive transformative way. I've been led throughout this past year to start working with children as a part of my life purpose, and I want to share my knowledge, experiences, warm personality, love, and kindness with young developing minds, they are so deserving! I became an aunt at age 16 which is when I had my first encounter with learning to care for newborns. I've played an integral role in assisting to care for my niece and nephew from babies (changing diapers, bathing, feeding, Read more putting them to sleep) to now (preparing meals, helping with grooming, transporting them, and most of all teaching life skills). I enjoy them and love them dearly; they've taught me to remember that children have only lived on Earth for a fraction of time as adults so they deserve patience, grace, and time to get everything right. My main focus these past few years have been work and school, but I have had the opportunity to care for 2 children from 2 different households outside of my family; one was a toddler, the other a teenager with special needs-both of whom I enjoyed. Work afforded more opportunities to work with children, in a more educational development role which I enjoyed even more. I taught a 6 week reading class, tutored phonics online, and my most current role teaching math and reading skills in the classroom. My personality meshes so well with young people that I've always been able to quickly build rapport with children of all ages. I am genuine, patient, understanding, helpful, attentive, and loving and children easily pick up on those traits and appreciate them. My intentions are clear and simple, to help you and most of all help them!
