My name is Carolyn Richard, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2012 and have been a full time nanny ever since. My extensive experience in elementary education as well as my passion for creating a stimulating environment for growth and development makes me a stand out nanny. I enjoy guiding children through their developmental milestones and learning what peaks their interests. I take pride in creating educational activities centered around their interests. I have had the pleasure of student teaching in several classrooms from kindergarten to high school special needs. I put a lot of emphasis on exploring outdoors, creating, and reading. I am a crafty person and love to create as well as garden. I also enjoy baking and cooking, and I excel at coming up with hands on learning activities. I am an organized person that enjoys creating Read more a schedule that can flow seamlessly. My childcare philosophy is to teach kindness. I am friendly but firm on the rules and happy to explain to children why it is important to follow the rules and maintain their safety. I like to teach kids through fun activities that capture their interests. I also teach personal responsibilities and manners. My goal is to help raise kind and capable humans that can effectively express themselves and learn to help care for themselves.
