Hello Families! My name is Genae, and I'm a professional caregiver with a passion for early childhood development. I recently relocated to Austin and am excited to bring my experience and love for children to your family. I believe it takes a village to raise a child, and I am committed to being a reliable, supportive, and nurturing part of that village for both you and your little one. I have a strong sense of empathy and integrity, and I am meticulous when it comes to a child’s safety and well-being. My caregiving philosophy is rooted in active engagement and emotional connection. Rather than simply watching over a child, I love to interact with them, play, read, and engage them in activities that promote learning and growth every single day. I have an extensive background in early childhood education, with over four years of professional experience as an infant teacher at Naval Childhood Development Centers in both Guam and Jacksonville, Florida. In my role, I was formally educated and certified through the military’s comprehensive Virtual Lab School (VLS) curriculum, which provided in-depth understanding of early childhood best practices. While my specialty is in infant care, my professional experience also includes working with toddlers and preschoolers. My skills cover all aspects of daily care, including creating and documenting curriculum and lesson plans, and providing nurturing support through enrichment activities. I prioritize safety protocols and hygiene practices such as proper bottle and food preparation, sanitation, and diapering. My safety training also includes a previous CPR certification, which I am in the process of renewing. A firm believer in open communication, I regularly held meetings with parents to discuss day-to-day development and milestones. Beyond my professional experience, my caregiving extends to being a supportive partner for your entire family. As a pet owner, I have current experience caring for dogs and am happy to assist with their needs, including walks and feedings. I am also comfortable with household services and daily chores, as I pride myself on maintaining an organized and welcoming home. You can also count on me as a safe and reliable driver with insurance, ensuring secure pickups and drop-offs for playdates or activities. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and what I can bring to your family. I can't wait to meet you guys, looking forward to the opportunity to partner with you!
