Experience: 10 yrs
I graduated from college in 2006 majoring in English with a focus in Journalism. I worked at a daycare, located in Jamaica Plain, for three years while I was in high school. During my time there, we worked with 14 children ages ranging from 5 weeks old to 3 years old. At the daycare we played a lot with the children but also mixed that up with developmental/ educational activities such as: reading together, singing, making art projects, taking trips to the park, zoo, museum. I left the daycare when it was time for me to go to college, but I took what I learned from that experience and it has been my guide for working with children. I have fun with them but at the same time- teach and help develop. My time at the daycare has also prepared me to work with multiple children at once so I am very comfortable with that as well. Throughout my four years I nannied and babysat for various families. Once I graduated I went right to work in my career field so I did not work with children much, just occasional babysitting. The woman I worked for at the daycare had since then shut it down and opened up a school and we have not been in contact in years, but I am still in contact with several families I have worked with and use them as references. As for my schedule I am very flexible, if I can do it then I will work full time or part time. I have worked mornings, evenings and nights, even over nights. I was recently working as a pharmacy tech at a hospital in Boston, but now I am looking to work with children again. If this position is still available and you feel I could be a good fit for you and your family please feel free to give me a call anytime on my cell. Thank you for your time.
We would have hired Martine had a dear friend not stepped in to fill our childcare needs. Martine was prompt, warm, knowledgeable, and imaginative. We were very impressed with her experience and it was clear she was adept at planning activities for toddlers. Her skills in developmental play were evident during her time with my son, who adored her instantly. She asked smart questions and understood our family's needs and style quite well. We're definitely keeping her at the top of our list for occasional babysitting or should our childcare situation change!
