A very strong, passionate, energetic, jovial, dynamic and hardworking young lady. I live in Silver Spring Maryland and have my own transportation. As the first child of my family (with four younger siblings) I became familiar with responsibility at a very young age. I have literally been a mother since birth. :) My personality is quite calm and gentle. I am very communicative and make sure I become friends with the children in my care. It makes them feel more secure and comfortable. I enjoy cleaning a lot and seeing places neat and organized makes me happy. My years of experience at the daycares I worked in gave me ideas on Montessori... Very creative. I enjoy reading to kids and sharing stories with them. We actually take turns. I love painting, drawing and playing with kids. I'm very fluent in English and French and I am willing to teach kids French. I treat infants like my kids, and older kids like my siblings. CPR/First Aid trained and certified. Very patient and spontaneous. I will be honored working with you and your family. Stay blessed

I am a substitute elementary teacher with West St Paul/Mendota Public Schools. I'm licensed to teach K-6th grade, but often work with younger children also. I have worked as a teacher for over ten years. Kindergarten is my favorite, but I think there is something great about kids of every age. I would be very open helping school-aged children with their homework or doing supplemental educational work with the kids. I can also hang out and have fun -- either inside or out. Whatever works best for you! I love cats and wouldn't mind a house with them. I am okay with dogs as well, to a lesser extent. I have my own transportation and am willing to drive the kiddos to appointments, sports, playdates, etc. I don't mind light housekeeping/cooking, especially for the kids. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks! Jane

I have over 30 years experience with children. I have worked with all ages, from infants to high school. I have been teaching for 23 years. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I have my own car and can transport children if needed. I also have references upon request.
