Hello! My name is Takia, I am an early childhood educator with over a decade of expertise in education and childcare. I hold full licensure to work as a lead teacher with infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and school-aged students. My career began in Boston Public Schools, where I gained valuable experience as a teacher and a para-professional in the special education department, working closely with children with special needs and their families. Certified in CPR/First Aid, medication administration, and ABA training, I bring a well-rounded skill set to any role. My experience with EEC curricula includes Montessori, Reggio Emilia, as well as OWL (BPS), and I am particularly passionate about child-led teaching and nature-immersive learning. I thrive in environments that embrace a child-centered approach and enjoy creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities tailored to each child’s interests and needs. Experience & Expertise: Nature Immersion: I love to integrate the wonders of Read more the natural world into everyday learning experiences. By exploring local parks, gardens, and natural habitats, I encourage children to connect with nature, promoting their cognitive and emotional development. Montessori Approach: Emphasizing independence, self-direction, and hands-on learning, I create an environment where children can explore at their own pace. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-confidence. Reggio Emilia Philosophy: Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, I value the role of creativity, collaboration, and communication in education. I love to design activities and projects that encourage children to express themselves through various mediums, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Education & Credentials: Montessori Training Reggio Emilia Training Degree in Education + Masters in Special Education First Aid & CPR Certification (Medication administration as well) I started nannying in 2020 due to a COVID layoff and have enjoyed the benefits of one-on-one teaching/care and the ability to work with families directly to develop routines that best suit their individual child(ren). Something we often don’t experience in the classroom! I am currently seeking a full-time position (Over 25 hours) with a family and am open to nanny-share opportunities.
