Hello! I am a middle school teacher looking for a part time position over the summer. I have years of experience nannying, tutoring, and teaching children of all ages and needs. Please message me if you are looking for help.
All I can say is I am a good mother, I raised up my children on my own and they now grown up and degree holder so I think thats the best description of how to take care a child. I have alot of patients but I prepared for 1 child to take care at a time.
As the oldest of 5 siblings, I have always been responsible for young children. I love to sing and play with them and bring out their smiles! I am fluent in English and French and like to help children learn about and experience different cultures.
