Here's a summary of my childcare philosophy: I prioritize a balanced approach to childcare, combining: * Educational Play: Engaging in activities that teach life skills, such as meal preparation and independent decision-making. * Child-Led Learning: Allowing children to make choices within a structured framework, fostering autonomy and responsibility. * Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging positive behaviors and redirecting negative ones through open communication. * Fun and Creativity: Creating a joyful environment through play, laughter, and imaginative activities. I am experienced in caring for children of various ages (newborn - 20 yrs old) and have a knack for connecting with them on their level.
