About
kim :
Hi my name is Kimberly and I live in Fair Oaks, California. I worked as a preschool teacher for thirteen years. I am very passionate about teaching and feel I am a positive role model for children. During my time as a teacher I have worked with both children with and without disabilities from 2-12 years of age. I am a strong child advocate and I am very familiar with special education law. Also I truly believe in parent-professional partnerships. I have an Associates degree in Child Development, a Bachelors degree in Liberal Studies and I am currently working on my Masters in Education with a special education emphasis and an early childhood special education credential out of CSU, Sacramento. Due to my current school endeavor, I have come to a point in my career were I need more flexibility than a full time teaching job can give me and I feel being a nanny will provide me with that flexibility.Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Sincerely,
Kimberly
kim 's childcare philosophy:
I believe that children need to know they are valued and possess potential. Children also need to develop trust and a bond with caregivers. It is also important that children have clear and consistent boundaries with a few well-defined established rules. Positive discipline and redirection works best when dealing with behavior issues. As a care giver power struggles must be chosen wisely and should be engaged in for primarily safety issues. Children do need choice and power, so it is important to give them that whenever possible. Encouragement as positive reinforcement works in most situations and teaching problem solving skills is vital to a child's development. When working with children the three R's work wonders reasonable, respectful and related. Children need to be actively engaged in the world around them in order for optimal learning to occur.
