This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a homeschooling mother of three grown children. I hold an Early Childhood Education degree and have worked in daycare centers and the public schools. During college, I was a nanny for twin infants. I was a teacher's aide in a junior high special education class for one year. I have been a therapeutic foster parent for eight years caring for children with autism, developmental delays, medical issues, and histories of neglect and abuse. I truly enjoy caring for children. I try to provide a rich basis for their future learning. I believe in reading aloud, active and imaginative play, early social experiences such as library story hours and playground time, sports, music and movement classes, and introducing children to a musical instrument at an early age. I will support activities which the parents feel are healthy and good for their child. I also try to help the family function smoothly by helping with chores when the child is napping and attending doctor appointments.
