Hello. I'd love to work for a family who wants their kids to be active. I'd like to go for walks, to different parks or to the library. With summer coming I'd like to go to the beach and water parks. Balance is important so depending on age I'd schedule a nap or some down time whether that be reading, playing with dolls or lego, doing school work, or teaching the alphabet, I like to keep children engaged with the real world instead of the t.v./tablet/phone, etc. I am an experienced childcare provider as I am a single mom raising my own children, ages 14 and 13. What better experience than to have gone (still going) through everything first hand. I also worked for a family for about three years taking care of their 6 month old until he was one and a half at which time the couple had another baby and then I cared for both children. Sadly this family moved away so I am looking to join a new family. I am also college and university educated in Social Work. Many of my classes taught child development, child and youth welfare and mental health. Well that's about it. Thank you for considering me. I hope to hear from you.
