Top of the day! My name is Gerrica and I have been providing childcare experience in both formal (Childcare Centers) and informal settings (Home care) for approximately ten years. I graduated from Warren Wilson College (a private school in Asheville) with a degree in Psychology and a double in Mathematics. With a passion for numbers and children, I have dedicated my current career as an education facilitator. With summers, weekends and holidays off, I spend my 'off time' providing reliable and affordable childcare and tutoring services to loving families in the Charlotte area. Along with being CPR and Red Cross certified, I am very familiar with infant/toddler care and formally trained on NC rules and regulations when working with infants and toddlers. I have been honored with various awards throughout my time as a childcare provided and featured on the websites of my past employers; with praise and adulation to Read more my unique teaching ideas and personal love and care that I show to all of the children in my care and their families! (http://www.vernerearlylearning.org/) I am at the bottom right corner! I have also been recognized for my ability to teach basic math, reading and general life skills through play. I can turn lunch into an opportunity to teach patience, safety, and reading/following instructions and of course math; basic counting skills, factions and more! With my experience working in a center I have learned the value of 'baby sign language!' This skill allows toddles learning to speak to converse with me regarding their basic needs such as the need for milk, playtime, a walk or a nap. With almost ten years of experience, a pristine driving record and background check, I can assure you that your child/children will be in the BEST care when left with me. It would give me great pleasure to set up a time to meet with you, at your convenience, to discuss in greater detail how my qualifications, skills and passion for exceptional care can be an asset to you and your family. Please feel free to contact me at (704) 726-3541 or gerricaw4285@gmail.com with any questions or to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Gerrica Watson Education is an essential aspect of life, and with it knowledge is limitless!
