As the oldest of 4 kids, and the oldest grandchild out of 20 plus grandkids. I have always loved looking after infants and children, and have been confident and comfortable with childcare since I was very young. I have had paid, non-family, babysitting experience of almost 8 years now, and I have been working as a daycare teacher for the last year. My time as a trained teacher, as well as child development courses I took in school, have helped me to better understand how each age group needs to be properly care for in order to boost social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. I have experience with infants as young as 2 weeks old, and know how to assess and handle babies and their needs. I also have experience with toddlers and preschoolers who are still in need of help when it comes to potty training, and I am Read more comfortable assisting them. I believe in being patient, calm, and understanding with children and babies, and having open and clear communication with parents so everyone feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I am easily adjustable to different house rules, food and diet restrictions of children, cultures, religions, and I have experience caring for children on the autism spectrum. I believe in active engagement with children, and I enjoy playing games, reading books, and setting up sensory experiences for them. My time as a high school and college athlete as also left me with the skills necessary to engage in physical activity and games with the kids as well! I am looking forward to getting you know your children and your family!
