My name is Josie, I am an optimistic and childcare professional with more than 10 years of experience dealing with kids. I have certification with child and infant CPR, First Aid, and AED and am capable of caring for kids with special needs.
I love taking care of all age-ranges of children! I have 3 grown kids of my own that I adore, so outside of professional work experience I have a lifetime of personal experience as well!
Throughout my roles, I've learned to keep organized schedules without much parental direction while being adept at taking care of children, managing household duties, cooking delicious and nutritious meals, and taking care of each child's personal, medical, and educational needs.
How my experience can help you:
As a former preschool teacher and tutor, I'm trained in playtime, storytelling, art, music, and play to educate young children the fundamentals of social interaction, problem-solving, and language. Although I loved every minute of being a teacher, I wanted to direct my expertise to families that needed a professional and reliable nanny.
Where I was responsible for carrying out;
- Housework such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and running errands, taking care of pets.
- Bathing, limiting screentime based on parents advice, and driving kids to and from school or appointments.
- Teaching manners and assisting kids with their homework.
- Preparing formula, sterilizing bottles, and changing diapers for infants.
- Providing a supportive, stimulating, and safe environment for the kids to grow and thrive in.
1) Worked as a Private Nanny full-time for 4 years where I assisted with bathing, dressing, bottle-feeding, and teeth brushing of a beautiful newborn and a 5-year-old child before bed.
My roles in the position also included
- preparing formula,
- cleaning bottles,
- changing the baby's diapers,
- preparing meals that were healthy and age-appropriate,
- doing laundry, housekeeping, cleaning, feeding, and
- helping older kids with their homework six days a week three times a day allowed the kids to flourish in school as they grew older.
2) I also worked as a preschool teacher that supervised the learned of more than 23 students where I received teacher of the year award from a prestigious private school with higher than a 88% class average.
In my role, I spoke with parents, offered teacher-parent days, and worked with them to develop plans for pupils to succeed in and out of the classroom with a pass record of 100%.
3) After my teacher years, I focused more of my time on tutoring and caregiving, I cared for a girl and two boys (ages 4, 8, and 12) full-time and being available on call.
tutored and worked together on Math, Science, and English tasks, which helped the older children achieve high honors and win numerous academic awards.
helped students develop effective study habits and exam techniques, which increased grades by an average of more than 35% with a 100% subsequent pass rate.
