How’s it going , When it comes to raising four boys at home, The safety awareness skills you learn while mothering your own children will stay with you throughout your life. Racing my four boys taught me the stages of childhood development and what to expect at different ages. These skills are useful when working with kids at any time in the future and especially if you are planning on working with children to make living! How to entertain children With enough motherhood skills plus caring for other children, you can have child-entertaining down to a fine art. You can quickly become a master of playing, reading, singing, drawing, improvising, and having fun. Children get sick a lot (particularly when attending childcare centers), so caring for them when they are not well is something you will pick up right away. There are many tactics to know that can make a child feel more comfortable, loved, and to help them recover quicker. You can also learn how to prevent the spread of germs and stop other people from getting sick, including yourself! Helping children to understand their emotions, manage their feelings, and learn the difference between right and wrong behavior is challenging, but it is also a rewarding experience. There are many subtleties to learn and every family may have a slightly different set of disciplinary values they wish to uphold. Sometimes children are prone to tantrums. You can learn to pre-empt trigger situations, and how to plan around them. You can learn the art of distraction (very powerful) and if a tantrum does occur, you can learn how to stay calm in stressful situations while remaining firm with your principles. Child encouragement and motivation strategies! Explaining why things need to be done! Building trust, and; Leading by example. These learned strategies can be invaluable in your day-to-day when dealing with children. I hope this answers some of your questions and please to hesitate to contact me if you are willing to meet. I have excellent references available upon request. My references can attest to my dedication, reliability, and the positive impact I have had on the children I have cared for. Have a bless day.... I

We will definitely hire YOSELINA in the future.

My name is Keliza , I am 24 a year old native Spanish speaker (written, spoken, and translation) raised in the city of New york. My skills include cooking, tutoring, arts and crafts, organizing and cleaning. Fostering a safe, clean and healthy enviornment for the developement and mental health of a child is of great importance to me. (I am vaccinated) I have 6+ years of experience working with children between the ages 2-13 (will provide references upon request) as well as infants. With this experience I have honed great communication skills with both children and families. My years of experience also come with easily adapting and understanding the individual needs of each baby/child/teen I encounter. I am CPR certified and First Aid Certified. I am dependable, well organized with attention to detail, patient, and responsible. I am also always open to background checks.

Keliza was super professional and super organized and thorough! I would definitely hire her again to help me organize my closet and cupboards.

Hey There! I’m Derek i’ve worked at the YMCA since I was 14, spending over 4 years of experience in aftercare and summer camp for kids aged all the way from 3-13. I currently have my CPR, Med-Admin, and Child Care Certifications up to date. I’ve been told i’m patient and playful, great for keeping kids active and engaged. I’ve also had pets my whole life, big and small, so I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, sitting or any light household task. I’m more than happy to help with any elder care. Currently a sophomore at Pace University and I bring energy and care into each job guaranteed, always ready to help when needed!

Derek is an amazing babysitter! He is dependable, punctual, and clearly loves working with kids. My child felt comfortable and happy right away, and I appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the evening. I felt at ease knowing my child was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
