I've been working with children for 16 years now. I started working with children my 11th grade year in high school through a child development class. We were able to work hands on as well as interact with children from a private center where I got my first job. I connected with the teacher as well as the children immediately. I became a big kid at heart and knew at that moment working with children was my gift and passion. Throughout the years I gain a lot of experience and knowledge working with children of all ages. In 2013/2014 I was granted the opportunity to become a nanny on Capital Hill. I incorporated my knowledge from working in the daycare centers as well as personal knowledge and the transition was a breeze. I started working with both families when their children were newborns until their toddler years. In that time Read more period I worked with the children on various small/large motor skills, various developmental skills, and reaching the appropriate milestone for their age. Every child is different so I believe in working with them accordingly to make sure they are getting what they need. Depending on the number I like to eventually get the child(ren) on a daily schedule. A normal schedule will consist of morning/afternoon outdoor time, music and movement time, story/learning time, creative art, nap etc.
