Experience: 10 yrs
I have been providing child care for 25 years plus. I taught pres-school for five years, Pre-K for four years at a Nursery School and worked as a Nanny for a few wonderful families. I took two years of practical nursing and I loved pediatrics. I am currently a child care provider for the last 14 years. I have raised 5 kids of my own. I LOVE to read, work on fine and large motor skills, potty train, do crafts, cook, bake, walks and teach some basic sign language with the children and whatever the parents would like me to work on with their child. I think great communication between myself and parents help the children grow. I think working with children is the MOST rewarding job ever.
Gina watched our daughter from the time she was 2 months old to 2 years old and provided excellent care. I never once worried about the care my daughter would receive, I know she was loved and cared for as if she was one of Gina s own children. Gina was very easy to get in touch with during the day and always provided updates during the day making the transition back to work so much easier. She gave status reports every day, from naps, to food, to the potty, to activities, there was never any question on what her day was like. She constantly worked with our daughter on whatever milestone or interest we asked her to help with, whether it was sitting up, crawling, sign language, potty training, etc. She was very flexible in working with us on developing a schedule and routine for our daughter, so there was never any difference between our schedule at home and her schedule with Gina. Gina made amazing home cooked meals for our daughter for lunches, taking into account the kind of food and type of eating that was appropriate for her age. She always kept our daughter entertained with fun activities and they were always enjoying the outdoors during the nice weather months. Most days I picked our daughter up, she would have preferred to stay with Gina than come home to Mom and Dad! Gina and her children were all genuinely interested in our lives and in creating a lasting friendship. It felt like our daughter was a part of her family and we feel like Gina and her children are a part of ours. Our daughter talks about Gina all the time and we look forward to every time we are able to see each other. Any child that Gina cares for is lucky!!
