I care for a four year old boy with ADHD. I provide a calm and structured environment.

Each week I pre plan a craft activity, music selection and book to read.

Weather permitting we go to the playground - encourage movement and socializing.

Initially I talk with the parents to discuss how the child"s week has been - anything I should focus on.

• Assisting with meals, snacks and bedtime routines for the child.
• Completing light housekeeping tasks such as tidying up toys and books.
• Engaging in age-appropriate like reading stories or playing games.
• 
  

• Provided supervision and guidance to ensure safety of children in all situations.
• Communicated with parents regularly to discuss progress, concerns and any other issues related to the care of their children.
• Developed positive relationships with each child by providing nurturing care.
• Performed light housekeeping duties related to childcare such as laundry or meal preparation.
• Kept detailed records of each child's progress including meals eaten, naps taken..
• Followed routines to foster stability and structure in children's lives during parental absences.
• Bathed and dressed babies, changed diapers and prepared bottles and feeding equipment.
• Incorporated playing with toys, interacting with dogs, daily book reading, daily walks, tummy time, talking and singing thru the day, listening to music, and anything that comes up to provide some variety to the day,
• Have the training to respond to emergency situations.
