Experience: 3 yrs
Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the families I support. With three years of experience caring for up to three children, I offer a patient, calm, and creative approach to daily care. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, CPR Training, and First Aid Training. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and carpooling. Whether we are solving puzzles, playing educational games, or exploring technology-based learning apps, I love keeping children engaged. I prioritize your preferred communication style for daily updates, ensuring you always feel connected. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide attentive supervision during water activities. I look forward to bringing my imaginative energy into your home and becoming a trusted partner in your child's journey.
I'm not sure if Charlotte should be caring for infants. I was thankfully home working while she was caring for my 11 month old. Here are my concerns: *When my child was trying to open a cabinet by holding onto the door with his fingers inside the door she was leaning her knee very firmly against the door itself. I was standing right next to them and removed him. My fear was her firmness with her knee and the possibility of his fingers getting pinched. *My son had a bowel movement in his diaper and she went to lay him down letting him hit his head on his playmat. She also made the statement "I haven't changed a diaper in a long time". I chose to change him. *We were locked out of the house for a moment because she didn't realize the door was locked and she was allowing my son to bounce on a patio chair standing up against the back of it and I asked her to be careful and she replied "I'm standing right here" and I mentioned that he could fall to the left or to the right. She then began to spot him on both sides. She would likely be fine with older children. My little one is very busy and needs to be safe. I would not recommend her for children under 3 since she menythats usually the age group she works with at her local YMCA.
