My name is Rochelle and I absolutely love watching children learn and grow. I have been in the child care field currently for 11 years as of this September. The reason that I love what I do is because being able to be in a child's life daily and teaching them is a blessing and an honor. Not many people are willing and able to do this type of job. To me its not really a job; it's a learning experience for myself as well. I also treat children as if they were my very own which creates a special bond that I treasure daily. I am 27 years old, I live in Hampton but am originally from Norfolk, I am married, no children. I have been in the child care field for over 10 years and I love what I do. I have worked at 3 daycare centers and have recently became a nanny. One of my previous positions was at CHKD in Norfolk for 3 years. I also am CPR and first aid certified, I have my own transportation, I am a non smoker, and I have numerous hours of child care related training. On top of all that, I am a lively, patient, happy, hard working, loving, and reliable person. I also love to read, write and be outside. I love baking and creating new treats. I love to learn and am very creative. I love to sing, (even though I am not that good at it), and do arts and crafts. My childcare style is a free, nurturing, and creative teaching and learning environment incorporated with structure. That basically means that I believe children should have room to learn as well as teach others, but there should be structure so that the learning is effective. I believe that there should always be rules and boundaries, but they should always be age and stage appropriate. I also encourage independence because I make sure the child(ren) will be prepared for what the future has to offer and will always achieve excellence.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 2 references My childcare experience includes: 2 years a nanny for about 4 different families, work as a teacher's assistant at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughter's (CHKD)childcare facility for 3 years.
