About Chelsea

Experience: 5 yrs

I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood, Education and Developmental Psychology from Wheelock College. I have worked as a head preschool teacher for four years and have been a substitute teacher in East Lyme for the past year I'd describe my personality as energetic, compassionate and patience. I like working with kids because they are kind and caring beings. They are the future and it is a great responsibility and honor to help care for them. I am full of energy and love to play. Children are creative and active and I love supporting those skills and needs. I'm looking for a job that I can help provide a fun and safe environment for children. I want to have good communication with the parents. I will fulfill the parent's expectations of me and the needs of their children. In my spare time, I love play with my children, hiking, swimming and word searches.

Chelsea is my go-to person whenever I need someone to watch my daughter. Not only does she have the technical background and training (including a bachelors degree in early childhood education and experience teaching at the elementary school level), she also has excellent emotional intelligence skills when it comes to dealing with the MANY emotions of children. She knows what type of play is appropriate and safe for each age. Whether she’s 1x1 with a child or dealing with a whole crew of kids, I’ve seen Chelsea make every child feel special, heard, safe, and loved. I often adjust my parenting style to match what I learn from watching her. My daughter is truly lucky to have someone like Chelsea available to help care for her.
