Looking for a family to work with long term as I pursue my masters degree in psych. I’m a very calm and fun loving person, I’ve always gravitated to child care and love getting to experience their growth through different stages of development and supporting them through it. I’ve most recently worked with various age groups also having some experience with special needs working as a preschool lead teacher for toddler and infant ages and also as a substitute teacher for all school ages. I’m especially gifted with being able to manage working with multiple children at once and have kids naturally gravitate to me quickly. I love to learn each individual and what makes them unique like reading a new book, everyone is different in their own ways. I’m also really tidy and organized so I don’t mind light house keeping or errands, and I like to create scheduled Read more routines; which is good for children and adults. As a plus I have my own car for transportation, I’m CPR Certified, and willing to provide background checks and references as well. Anyone willing to get to know me further and see if I’d blend well with your family I can’t wait to connect! *totally fine with messaging but I prefer to speak over the phone for a more genuine and cohesive conversation.
