Hello! I’m Kari Ann, and I’m thrilled to offer my extensive experience and diverse skill set to families in need of occasional babysitting or nannying services. With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, coupled with a strong educational background and professional experience, I’m confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and support to your family. I understand that exceptional childcare goes beyond simply watching over children. That's why I am dedicated to nurturing each child’s growth and development through a thoughtful, child-centered approach. {Developmental Milestones} My educational background in nursing and psychology has helped me become well-versed in developmental milestones, recognizing that each child progresses at their own unique pace. By tailoring activities and interactions to support these milestones, I can help children build essential skills, from motor development in infants to critical thinking in school-aged children. My goal is to provide a Read more nurturing environment where children can reach their full potential with confidence and support. {Age-Appropriate Play} Play is a crucial aspect of a child’s growth, and I believe that age-appropriate play is fundamental to their development. I can design activities that are not only engaging but also developmentally appropriate. From sensory play for toddlers to creative problem-solving games for older kids, I ensure that every activity promotes learning, social skills, and emotional well-being. {Child-Focused Care} At the heart of my approach is child-focused care. I prioritize the individual needs, interests, and personality of each child, creating a supportive and positive environment. I have been trained to listen to and understand children’s unique needs, fostering a relationship built on trust and respect. Whether it’s managing daily routines, assisting with homework, or simply being a supportive presence, I'm dedicated to creating a meaningful impact in each child’s life.
