Caring for children of various ages, personalities, intelligence levels, and health conditions has become a lifestyle for me over the years. Helping young people on a close up and personal basis has provided them with the care they need while providing me with a sense of purpose and intrinsic enjoyment. Helping to raise three children over a 16 year period yielded me many experiences and has equipped me with various skills to include: diapering, bathing, grooming, bottle feeding, cooking, serving meals, light housecleaning, laundry, shopping, lunch packing, scheduling the children's appointments and activities, assisting with homework, driving children to and from school, after school activities, to their doctor and dental appointments, sports activities, and social functions, etc. More detailed experience includes full infant care, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, dispensing medications as instructed by the parents, teaching bike riding, swimming, phonetic reading, playtime at the park and beach, singing Read more songs together, picnics, play dates, instructing children in crafts (such as Easter egg dying), teaching budgeting for children with their allowances, how to write thank you letters, teaching pet care, and how to wrap gifts. Have homeschooled two students through grades 7-12 with hands-on teaching as well as overseeing an independent study program. Experience prepping middle school and high school students for theater auditions, procuring musical instruments/lessons, and finding instructors for children to expand their skills in such things as surfing, voice training, Cotillion, table manners, dog training, drivers' education, etc. Have planned birthday parties and sleepovers. Attended parent/teacher conferences, volunteered as a teacher's aid, and have assisted with school projects. CPR/first aid certified for 30+ years. Have volunteered as an acting instructor, intern director, makeup artist, and costume procurer, and Crew Manager for children's theater. I especially love reading to children, art projects, and helping them learn to cook and bake the foods they love to eat! Relationship building is key. There is a balance between fun, instruction, and discipline. Sharing life’s experiences, feelings, and ideas builds friendships, as well as mutual trust and respect. And of course, an occasional great big belly laugh does everybody a world of good!

Trust & safety
