Hello!

I am recent graduate from UCLA.

My most recent job was working at early care and education. I worked there for almost 3.5 years and I absolutely love it. I really enjoy working with kids and look forward to their complete honesty and creative imaginations everyday. It's amazing how in depth of a conversation you can have with toddlers. They blow my mind every day!

I have also done a few internships/volunteer work involving working with children. These internships involved mentoring children, tutoring children and engaging with children in activities such as outside play, creative art work and reading. I find that when caring for children, while it is important to be the person in charge, it is equally important to engage with them in any way possible. It builds relationships and makes caring for the child that much more special. When working with kids, I make it a priority to be intentional in getting to know their personalities.

I find communication is key with parents of the children I am caring for and with the children I am caring for. From working in a day care, one of the philosophies I was taught was positive reinforcement and communication with the children to know their needs and to keep in mind any discipline/redirection for safety reasons. Additionally, it is equally important to know which boundaries and limits parents have set for their children. In this way, I have found maintaining consistent communication with parents is important in letting them know how the day went.

As far as my rates go, I like to be accommodating to both the family and myself. So while I do have a preferred rate range, I am flexible with these rates. If needed, I am also willing to work out a day rate. So please don't hesitate to let my know if you need me to work out a rate that is suitable for you.

Overall, I find my experience with children to be very rewarding and ultimately I wish to be of the best service that I can be to the children and their parents when participating in child care.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
