Responsible for comfortable, safe, stimulating, non-threatening environment for preschool children, including my own while parents are tending to other obligations. Combine basic care with teaching responsibilities to give them a well balanced daily program. Help to enhance each child’s development through consistent care. Provide children with activities which promote physical, emotional, intellectual and social growth while interacting with other children. Aid children in exploring interests, developing talents, building self-esteem and learning how to share and properly interact with others. Other activities including; reading, storytelling, playing coordination and counting games. Support social and emotional development of the children. Attend to the personal hygiene of each child; changing diapers or soiled clothing and washing hands, trimming nails, checking ears, potty training. Maintaining a clean and organized area for play, meals, and supplies. Prepare nutritional snacks and meals. Encouraging physical activities. Communicate with parents suggestions, concerns, and praise regarding their child. Provide photographic documentation of some of their fun activities for I also have a photography biz at www.candcphotography.smugmug.com (pictures from fun would not be posted for all to see without permission).
More about me:
SAHM with two girls of my own, 6 years old and 22 months. I also babysit a 2 1/2 year old boy. I am a married, 35 year old female with a bachelors degree in merchandising with an emphasis on fashion. I worked several years with a major department store as a visual merchandiser before leaving when I had my first child in 2004. I would like to continue to babysit because I enjoy the interaction that the kids get from each other. I am a mom. I have watched multiple children since I left the working world in 2004, mostly for friends. I worked part time at a home daycare with my first daughter and realized I wanted more control over the conditions my child was exposed to, daily, especially with all the viruses going around. Schedule is flexible, however, I do prefer Monday - Friday, regular hours, but would consider other schedules. No infants under 12 months.

I can't believe the any daycare would expect the parent to do it. I would have happily changed it, especially since mom was running late. We've all got to help each other out sometimes. I would have said the child was on my clock at arrival time. Poop Happens!
