This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 6 yrs
A little about me. I live in Clermont, and am looking for a part-time child care position. I have had paid child care experience for approximately four years, in addition to raising my two wonderful daughters (now ages 14 and 22), and my two nephews (now ages 17 and 23). I believe in maintaining whatever schedule or routines parents have set in place for their children. I feel that this helps children feel safe and secure, which results in parents feeling more comfortable. I love to interact with children of any age, reading to them, playing games, making up age appropriate role playing stories, then letting their imaginations fly! I also feel that it is important to take a child's lead when playing, in order to allow them to be creative and use their imaginations. Children can easily learn while having fun. I would treat your child with the same care, concern, and patience as I did my own. I do not rely on TV to keep children entertained, although realize that some "down time" is also needed. I feel it is important to allow children to keep active outdoors, as well, and enjoy taking children for walks and playing with them outside, weather permitting. I am very energetic, patient, reliable, responsible, and always arrive on time. My schedule is very flexible, so if you need to work an extra shift or change days, that won't be a problem. I have no problem helping with homework, doing light housekeeping while children are napping or enjoying "down time." I am also willing to take children to extracurricular activities, etc. My background check and references are available.

Valerie is one of the gentlest, kindest, most thoughtful caregivers we could have ever asked for our son. He was one year old when she started caring for him and he immediately took to her. Her calming nature and gentle spirit was just what our little one needed as he was struggling with separation anxiety. And we always felt good about leaving him with her as we knew she would not only follow our schedule and instructions, but she would love him like her own. She played with him, talked and sang to him, took him to his daily activities including swimming lessons, bathed him, prepared meals and also helped us with his laundry. It made our life so much less stressful knowing that she was a reliable member of our family "team." And she always went the extra mile to do helpful things for us and be flexible with our schedules. The only reason Valerie is not still with us is that we've suffered a job loss and can't afford to keep her at the moment. We know that she will be a blessing to the next family that she works for, just as she was to our family.
