Experience: 20 yrs
For two decades, I've embraced my passion for nurturing young minds and positively impacting children's lives. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly, and I strive to support families by providing reliable care. I have experience with children aged 0-4 years old. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I have taken Early Child Development Coursework and am certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or phone calls. I always follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I'm eager to bring my experience and dedication to your family, helping your child thrive while offering you peace of mind.
I highly recommend Lastenia for any position involving childcare. I have known Lastenia for approximately 10 years, and during this decade, I have personally witnessed the immense love, dedication, and patience she brings to her work with children.
