I am happy to care for your child while being mindful of her budding independence. I come from a large family of six siblings with 10 nieces and nephews, which influenced my decision to become a nurturing and respectful care giver. I am glad as I found it was easy to develop a rapport with children. I have about 15 wonderful years of childcare experience, which includes six years of home schooling here in Pittsburgh. I am PA certified in secondary education from Chatham University - English- and part of my training includes Early Childhood Development. I have enjoyed contributing to the social, emotional, and cognitive milestones of the lovely children whom I have had the privilege of caring for and learning from as well. Nurturing with love and understanding, while engaging in the excitement of fun: creative play, arts & crafts, conversation, singing, walking, dancing, poetry, cooking and learning core subjects were certainly rewarding.
We hired Meera to care for our 8 month old son for 4 weeks. During that time, Meera got to know his personality and preferences and took the initiative to find activities that would keep him busy and promote his development. In the 4 weeks she worked with us, she took our son to the zoo, tumble gyms, and on many walks by the river. She encouraged his speech with singing songs, reading books, talking with him, and narrating activities. She brought bubble wrap and bubbles to our home to help with his coordination and fine motor skills. We've been very lucky to have Meera to take such great care of our son.
