General Information

Position Sought	Babysitter
I would like to care for:	Toddler, Preschool
Desired Rate:	10.00/Hour. Rate is negotiable
Information about me:	I am a mom of 2 amazing kids! I am 27 and currently taking an online class at Jeffco. I am married to my high school sweetheart and live next to my parents. I love having family time more so than anything else. i love to play in the creeks and small river with my son and go fishing, camping etc. I am very busy and out going, I love to interact with my kids and make projects and crafts for them as well. I love watching kids and helping them to learn. My family is my life so anything and everything about them is who I am!
Most important aspect of the job:	I fell in love with the kids at the Early Childhood Center. I worked for ages 3-5 and can relate and bond with them as if they were one of my own! I have been working with kids since I have been in high school so I have many years of experience plus 2 of my own, ages 4 and 5 months! Having been a working mom myself I understand how difficult it is for parents to find good quality childcare. Leaving your child is hard enough, let alone finding someone you can trust. I feel I have the love, knowle
Most rewarding:	Seeing kidos faces light up when they accomplish a task they could not do before or watching them interact and socialize with each other and figure out things together! Amazing how well age groups communicate and how after a few days they bond with you as a childcare provider! The kids you watch become like one of your own so that in itself is big!
How do you deal with common frustrations such as incessant crying, spitting out food or refusing to nap?	Every day is different and kids are no different than adults... You have your good days and then again you have the bad you just got to make the best of dad to day obstacles and take things with a grain of sand. Sometimes you try everything and a child may still cry. Sometimes its best to let the child be depending on how well you know the child. I know mine gets fussy when shes tired and needs a nap. If a child wont take a nap letting them hang out in a pack in play may help to settle them
Languages spoken:	English
Additional Info:	I live next door to my parents being that family is a big priority we are very much close so my kidos know me as well as parents! Thats the fun about being next to grammy!
