Baxter $26 per hour for 1 child

Bio I have 3 children of my own, and was a stay at home mom for 12 years, managing the home, and schedules. ( cooking, cleaning, errands, Doctor appointments, play date etc…) I received a degree from the school of Early Childhood ED in fall of 1997. My philosophy for working with children ( school or nanny position) is heavily based on the child’s social emotional being. My beliefs is this provides a foundation for our lives as we grow and develop. Early childhood is a passion I have shared with children ranging from infants to 6. I am looking forward to new opportunities outside of a classroom setting while relocating to West Melbourne, Florida. I am looking for full time(6:30-5:30)part time (3-7pm) employment starting in September. I am CPR/first aid certified and non smoker I also love animals:) I have two dogs of my own.
