Experience: 3 yrs
Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. For 12 years, I've dedicated myself to providing engaging and supportive childcare for children aged 0-11. I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom. My background includes a college degree, a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification, and Early Child Development coursework. I am also trained in First Aid and CPR. I'm patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, physical games, and educational games that promote learning. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and always communicate with parents using their preferred method. I'm happy to supervise swimming and assist with crafts. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I love seeing the world through a child's eyes and would be honored to contribute to your family's well-being.
We interviewed Elizabeth for our position. She was very prepared and able to share many examples of quality childcare. She also shared lesson plans she had used to plan upcoming weeks/months. I got the sense the Elizabeth would provide much more than only a safe and loving environment- she would connect with our children as individuals and provide developmentally appropriate experiences to help them learn and grow. While there was a better fit in the end for our family, I have no doubt Elizabeth will be the perfect fit for another family. She was one of our final candidates. I highly recommend bringing her in for an in-person interview.
