My qualifications include specializing in the care of newborns through age five and experienced with multiples. People call me the "Baby Whisperer". My genuine passion has always been working with children. I feel like I have an inborn gift of connecting with them so they quickly learn that they can trust me and I quickly learn their cues for what they need. Although I have loved working as a Child Development Teacher for several years with infants and toddlers, I am now looking for a full-time permanent position where I can use my experience to care for children in a more individualized setting. I have enjoyed many years caring for newborns and children of all ages. Since I am so interested in helping children, I have numerous certificates of additional training that I have completed, including First Aid and CPR. I am also a member of the National Association for Read more the Education of Young Children. If you would like a positive, honest, and nurturing caregiver for your child, please feel free to contact me any time. Excellent references and Extensive Background Check, including Driving Record are available to view upon request!
