Summary
Hi, I'm Kylie Paulson. I'm a well-trained childcare professional ready to bring skills and knowledge to my new Nanny position. I'm educated in providing opportunities to help children grow and develop to their full potential. Additionally, I'm well-organized in balancing the needs and desires of each child with age-appropriate schedules and activities. I'm able to teach children social skills and model positive behaviors while helping with school projects and organizing healthy meals. I have 8 years of professional specialization in providing care and teaching children from birth to 10 years old. I studied Early Childhood Education at Minnesota State University Moorhead. I'm a self-starter with initiative to engage fully with the children in my care. I'm willing to perform light housekeeping tasks during downtime. Overall, I'm invested and involved in the daily life and routine of the families I work for.
