About Robin

Experience: 10 yrs

We all have a life purpose, a special calling, and mine is teaching children! You love your kids and when you can not be with them you want the absolute best for them. Look no more, I am right here! I will make sure everyone is safe, happy and that they laugh and have fun. We can do arts and crafts, build tracks for Hot Wheels, play games, go on outings, ride bikes, and more. I like to make up silly songs and stories. All children are naturally creative and intelligent, understanding more than adults give them credit for. I have a BA with a double major in Art and Elementary Education. I have been a preschool teacher, then a Preschool Director, and a program supervisor at a local community center. I have had the opportunity to include special needs students in my after school classes and in the day camp I directed. I recently left this position with an impeccable record of transparency and a perfect safety record. I have 4 years' experience as a Two's teacher, 5 years with the 3's, and more than 10 with 4's and kindergarten. 20 summers with school aged children Even when I was the Supervising Director I kept a foot in the classroom teaching the Mommy & Me music classes, 2 art enrichment classes a week, the after school Lego Club, and scheduling myself 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. in the childcare room on Thursdays."Don't ask someone to do a job you wouldn't do " ... but I really do it because kids teach me so much and keep me energized! I was responsible for the safe operation of the "child-sitting room" for ages 6 weeks to 6 years old while the parents used the community center. Our 2 children are on their own now but I always enjoyed helping them discover new skills through play and encouragement. I have a clean driving record and the large top of the line Jeep Commander. Recently I tutored a second grader in Reading and Mathematics and another 4th grader in research methods on the computer. I offer a professional demeanor but your kids will think I am just plan fun to be with! Resume and references available. -State of CT Head Teacher certification, -CPR, First Aid, Epi-pen, Allergy awareness protocols, -Member US Gymnastics Association, -Featured panelist on educational television. Besides being a teacher I love being outdoors & never stopped being the nature counselor! I'll go in a pool, hike a hill, push a stroller, hold a snake, and more. I've owned 3 large malamute dogs & our kids owned everything from gerbils to iguanas.
