I am very professional, and responsible but I do not treat children like "just another job". I take my work seriously, making sure the children in my care have a well rounded daily schedule of activities that are fun and uplifting. I provide parents with daily progress notes describing their child's day as well as any changes in behavior or milestones that might occur. I enjoy working with children because of their wide eyed response to the world around them and their creativity. It's a wonderful experience, teaching. It really makes you a better person. Skills- I love working with children in an educational, artistic and fun filled environment. My method of child care stems from the Montessori belief that each child is an individual and should be treated as such at all times in order to help them grow and learn. I have experience in developing personalized schedules for each child, covering Sensorial /Manipulative Play, Reading Time, Nature Walks and Crafts. I use art as a tool to help them express their emotions, and, of course, to just have fun. That doesn't mean that I stay indoors though. I have no problem with taking children outside, it's fun and it keeps them involved with their natural surroundings.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   7 years experience, 3 references Home Teacher for 2 children July 2007-March 2009 Teacher Share for group of 5+ children Teacher April 2007-July 2007 Eladia's Kids Assistant Teacher, Full Time January 2007-April 2007 (left because of school schedule) Babysitter/tutor 1998 - present Currently a preschool co-op teacher      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years   Education/Training: Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, Bachelor's Degree  Education- The City College of New York Bachelor of Arts (pursuing) Psychology Major, focus on Art Therapy for children F.
