I have been surrounded by children my entire life. I grew up with my mother being a Childcare/Preschool teacher. I have always enjoyed having children around me. I was a back up child care provider for my mother. From there, every opportunity that presented itself I would educate and look after children. I have been a nanny for children ranging from infant to 11 years old. My current job is working for a preschool in a center based atmosphere as a Junior Toddler teacher. The teacher to student ratio is 1:4 or 2:8 for infant to Jr. Toddler, 1:5 for toddler, and 10:1 for preschool or prekindergarten. My responsibilities include planning and implementing the learning curriculum lessons to my classroom aging 12-24 months. I provide strategies to capture and incorporate my children's interests and choosing learning experiences based on developmental needs, and most importantly, creating a fun and exciting structured learning environment for my children! I also do meal times, circle time, reading, potty training, etc. Throughout my employment within this company I have had the experience of working in all classrooms including: Younger infant, Older infant, Toddler, Preschool, and Prekindergarten. I have also obtained my CPR/First Aid, reporting and recognizing child abuse, food handlers card, enrollment in the Criminal Background Check, and taking 20 clock hours per year in continuing education courses.
