CPR certified. I have been taking care of children for 13 years. I started by helping my mom in the infant and toddler nurseries at our church. Then I babysat 3 y.o & 5 y.o brothers, then a newborn baby, then 3 y.o & 1 y.o sisters. I ended all on good terms and either was no longer needed or I moved out of the city. I then worked as a 1:1 educator at a learning center with children ages 5+ for 3 years. When I am with children I like to play with them, encourage them to talk and explain what they are doing. I also love to teach them new things about their toys and their environment, as well as how to manage their emotions and how to ask for what they need. I love to be creative and active with kids. We will likely be doing arts Read more and crafts, playing with toys or games, or playing outside! I am a yoga teacher so I also love to encourage kids to move in their bodies and practice motor skills and physical control through dance, play and games! I will always: -ensure your kids are as safe as possible -ensure your kids are as happy as possible -keep them fed with healthy choices -keep them engaged and interacting or resting -listen to your kids needs -listen to your needs I will never: -inappropriately handle your kids -swear or use any kind of disrespectful language -share or talk about political or religious beliefs -feed your kids unapproved treats -expose your kids to anything inappropriate I highly value their safety and comfort when I am with them. When you are gone or busy they deserve to feel protected and you deserve to feel at ease. All while we have a bunch of fun!
