gennifer f. - westmont Babysitter

Hi ,

            My name is Gennifer , I am a 20 year old young mother .I am currently studying early childhood education.I have finished courses such as Infant and Toddler development and care,School age programming, Observation ,Assessment, Curriculum and guidance of young children,Students with disabilities in school,health ,nutrition ,and safety.I am taking Saturday classes from 8am-noon.I have been taking Saturday classes since September 2006.I also have a young daughter who is now 2 years old .As a young mother I have learned how to multitask many things at once.I potty trained my daughter at 18months old and had her on a sippy cup at 12 months.When I do babysit , my daughter would stay home with her father .I DO NOT NEED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER with me - so don't make it your concern if your not interested just because of that issue. (Unless you're OK with it-that would be great)-Either way please let me know..I try to keep the children occupied and laughing .I love to go to the park,the library , and do lots of arts and crafts.My educational philosophy is all children should be encouraged to explore their world in a safe environment .They should be read to daily. Encouragement to ask questions and receive questions they understand. The more knowledge a child gains, the more well rounded, capable, and self assured they become. It is my job to help shape ideas and provide encouragement.
