Summary
Caring and kind educator seeking to transition into more individualized care through a nanny position. I love working with infants and being able to take part in their most transformative year. My favorite part of working with babies is that you get to see them grow and accomplish so much. I love being a resource for families, especially first time parents. I actively plan different activities to promote their cognitive, physical, and social emotional development. Reading, singing, and going outside are my favorite things to do with my infants during the day, besides playing. I always document how the children do during the day and actively communicate with their parents.
