Reading Tutors in Canton

I taught 4th through 6th grade for 26 years and retired in 2017. I also provided child care from my home before becoming a teacher. The children ranged from several months to 10 years old. After leaving teaching, I was a nanny for an infant until my husband and I decided to move south to be closer to our kids and grand kids. I have five grandchildren ranging in age from five to 11 years old. I love taking them outside to explore their environment and go on adventure walks or just play. We also enjoy reading books, working on puzzles, and playing board games. I have a current FBI and BCI background check. I love the outdoors, was an avid runner, and still get out to walk almost every day.

I'm an experienced, fun, compassionate and one-of-a-kind nanny who is looking for a full-time position with a great family! I am also available on short notice, for date nights, and for occasional outings and errands. I have been caring for children for 15 years. I have worked as a nanny, a daycare teacher and a Special Needs Sunday School teacher. I have an extensive experience with infants and toddlers. I am truly a nurturer at heart and I get great joy from teaching and taking care of children. I love witnessing the process of learning and growth. I am very big on being active and varying activities for children throughout the day: painting and art, playing outside, reading, science, teaching (letters, colors, shapes), interactive play, dress-up, and "imagination time". I am not the type of a nanny to busy children with television! I also enjoy taking children on field trips. I love the local petting zoo, science museums, parks, and local events such as fairs and carnivals. I'm committed to children's educational growth. I believe that learning should be fun, so I use a number of techniques and games to allow children to learn in a way that is interesting (which is the best way to learn!). I'm also acutely aware of different learning styles, and can adapt both play and learning to a child's individual needs. I have a clean driving record, clear background check (available upon request), and a reliable and spacious vehicle. I am more than comfortable running errands, tidying up, taking children to activities, and taking kids out for fun days out. I am also organized, neat, and would be happy to help you with household chores. I understand how overwhelming life with children can be, especially when combined with a job and the responsibility of running a house! If your child has special needs or is a high-needs child, I have experience with both. I have the most experience with autism (high and low-functioning), Down syndrome, and epilepsy. I am fond of all animals, so if you have critters at home, I'd be happy to help with them too! I have 3 rescue dogs: a chihuahua mix, rat terrier mix, and a goofy little dachshund. They bring me joy every day. I also have two vibrant fish tanks full of tropical fish. I am very flexible and will work with you when it comes to planning and managing time. I'd love to become a long-term nanny for your family. If you feel that I would be a good fit for your family, please contact me! I would love to speak with you and meet your family.

I love children. I have 3 of my own. Two are school age and one is 3. I am looking for a position that will allow me to bring the 3-year-old with me. I have 8+ years experience as a nanny and have worked at a local preschool as the music and Spanish teacher. Taking care of children is a gift that I have been blessed with. I find joy in watching children grow through play and loving care very much.

I have been a stay at home mom for the past 4 years and my daughter just started Pre-K. I love being around children of all ages. I have experience watching up to 4 children ages 7-11. I also have also provided after school care of a 1st grader and 3rd grader. I love doing the fun stuff ( outdoor play, crafts, etc.) but also enjoy reading and working on developmental skills for young children and helping with homework for school age children. I am fun and energetic and really enjoy making sure the kids have a good time while still providing structure and learning.

Parents have often found me when their students have struggles with math or reading. As a parent, you recognize that your child is bright, but you find yourself running out of answers for the problems your student has in math, reading, or writing. Let me be the support you need to help your child. I love to help students who are struggling or stuck. I have over 30 years experience teaching children. When I taught my older children at home, I learned that different children may need different approaches. What often worked with one child didn't work with the other. I learned that different strategies and learning difficulties require thinking outside the box. Seeing that "I get it!" expression brings joy to my heart.

I have been looking after kids since I was 13 years old. I have also nannied for many families during the summer. I love to watch kids and keep them entertained. I currently coach volleyball for a club and a High School.. I worked at an Elementary. I was an after school worker and teacher. I am in college I am studying to become a surgical tech. I love reading, the outdoors and being active!
