I am a retired teacher with an Early Childhood background and over twenty years of working with children. I love to watch children as they grow and learn and I love their honesty and enthusiasm! I have worked as a nanny and babysitter with infants, preschoolers and elementaousry age children and have references. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have taken many courses in children's development and it is important to me that a child feel safe, happy, and loved in my care, as well as a parent or parents feel confident that their child is well cared for. I like to have fun with children, implementing games, creative activities, cooking projects, and making sure they have lots of exercise with outdoor play. I love to read to children, along with being a good listener when a child has something to share. I am a non-smoker, health conscious, Read more and have had a background check.
