Vera Paukova
Summary
I have been working in childcare in America since December 2016 and I have cared for children ages from 6 months up until 11 years old. I have previous childcare experience from my home country as a babysitter, scout leader and from my teacher training.
I love spending time with children outside in parks, farms, and libraries. I am always on a lookout for seasonal activities. I am a master snowman builder, Lego enthusiast, fort engineer and an avid reader. I am an excellent baker and love to share that passion with the children I watch.
If you are looking for someone who is organized and can help you stay on top of your children's laundry and schedule while also considering their development and happiness, I am your person.
