My experience with a family day care required socializing diverse groups of children, drop offs and pickups and helping children with cleanup and meals. I have 20+ years childcare experience as I cared for daycare children with my own my own the entire time I was raising my six children. More recently I was the owner and operator of a 24-hour/day, 7 days/week family day care for 5 years in order to care for my granddaughter. In the daycare I did significant pro bono work for indigent families. I am certified in medical CPR and have first aid training. I am a licensed CNA with a Bachelor's Degree in Education, and 30 credit hours of child care training for family daycare owners. With customers from diverse cultures and backgrounds, I successfully cared for up to 15 children from ages 0-11, including nutrition, education, nature walks, birthday parties, and many more activities. My family-like environment created remarkable loyalty and love, with multiple clients remaining with me for over five years. I have the multitasking abilities and stamina required as a caregiver of many young children. I am hardworking and skilled at behavior management and redirection. Creative play, sing and crafts as well as reading are some of the activities I use in the enjoyment of the little one under my care. I am accustomed to walking and standing for long hours and have experience with all ages. I am also licensed CNA; a dedicated, service-focused professional. I'm a reliable compassionate worker with a strong work ethic; backed by a solid work history, reputation as a team player and passion for helping others. Background includes experience caring for terminally ill patients, senior citizens, private care, and infants. Current on all immunizations (including Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B).
