Hello Parents, I have loved children as far back as I can remember. I was the neighborhood sitter as a child and continued throughout my adult life. I am very dependable, punctual and love children. Children are a precious part of our community and deserve to be given respect, love and tenderness. I love engaging children in fun and entertaining age appropriate activities. With babies I engage in playtime to develop gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Diaper changing is a fun time to learn body parts. Quiet time on floor with baby for a couple minutes helps baby explore its surroundings. A walk is more than a stroller ride, its a huge opportunity to narrate sounds and sight. I work with toddlers on letters, numbers, colors, shapes, fine motor skills and coordination. Storytime is more than reading a book but opportunity to ask the how, what, where, when and Read more why. I build their confidence thru giving choices when appropriate . I enjoy taking children to the park to take advantage of the great outdoors and being a part of their adventure there and not a bystander or bench-warmer. I love their enthusiasm for learning and nurture it to the appropriate degree. Hugs and Cuddles are a big part of the day. I have watched children of various ages from newborn to 12yrs+. I have also worked with special needs children for several years. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a non smoker and animal lover.
