I have 13 years experience as a preschool teacher working at The Young School in Columbia, Md, nannying and pet care. I have worked with all age groups, ranging from from infant to 12 years. I specialize working in infants and toddlers. I have always had a way with children from doing crafty activities to staying active. I believe in teaching children through play by offering a variety of materials to explore. I have experience creating lesson plans and performing various activities with children. I especially enjoy doing sensory / art activities. I believe in encouraging children to be independent, confident and able to recognize and express their feelings to one another in a healthy manner. Children are often underestimated of what they are capable of because their young. I believe if a child is capable of doing something recommended for older children, then they could use more of a Read more challenge. If something is too easy, it can lead them to be bored which can also be followed by behavioral actions. I generally bring an activity I think your child might benefit from along with me daily. I do what I love and I enjoy doing it!

Alison applied to my job that clearly states where I live and all details. I replied, asking her if she was available to interview. She responded asking me where I live again which I found very peculiar considering it’s in the ad at the top. I let her know where I live, which is a very nice neighborhood and I also let her know that it was only 15 minutes from where she lived. It’s been a week and she’s never gotten back to me so either this is a fake profile or somebody who does not value a mother’s time. RED FLAG either way
