About me
I grew up in West Indies, the third of four children. I loved dancing, hiking and participated in sporting activities at school. After graduating high school, I was certified as a Nursing Assistant and have worked in this field for many years.
Currently I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist with CPR/First Aid for infants, children, and adults. I have worked with newborns as young as 1 week old in New York and Maryland, where I lived in home to assist with the general care of a newborn and offer support as needed by their mothers. I have also worked with toddlers up to 2 years of age in New York, emphasizing activities to develop social, language and cognitive skills.
I am animated and funny. Since I am vegan, I enjoy cooking and baking healthy meals. Children learn through play, so my philosophy is to use play to develop their interests, skills, and abilities during their formative years in order to stimulate their learning.
I have professional child care experience with...
- Infants
- Toddlers
In 5 years, I hope to be...
Still working with children.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
Activities to develop social, language , and cognitive skills through play. This includes: finger games, nursery rhymes, reading, singing, counting, peek-a-boo, shape sorter, building blocks, drawing and painting, together with other outdoor activities.
