My Experience
My professional background encompasses a broad spectrum of childcare experiences, spanning across different age groups, including infants. When caring for babies, my approach revolves around establishing a consistent and structured routine, thereby prioritizing their emotional security while enriching their daily lives with meticulously planned activities. This entails adeptly managing their sleep patterns, dietary requirements, playtime, and relaxation. I am acutely cognizant of the profound significance of early childhood education, actively engaging the children in purposeful and age-appropriate activities that foster a genuine love for reading and promote essential developmental milestones. Notably, achieving milestones such as successful potty training by the age of 14 months elicits a deep sense of personal accomplishment.

Furthermore, my extensive experience as an educator and language teacher for school-aged children equips me to assist them with their academic needs and introduce them to early language learning, specifically in Spanish and French.
