Qualifications

My qualifications include:

* CPR/First Aid Certified

* 4 years experience as child care provider

* American Sign Language student

* Food Handlers Card

As your child care provider I will help your children to develop/learn:

* Social and emotional skills

* Reading and writing

* Large/small motor skills

* Potty training

I am also currently an American Sign Language student. If you have deaf or hard of hearing children I would be capable of communicating with them and would advocate deaf culture.

ASL has also proven to be very beneficial to hearing children! It helps them to learn communication skills at a much earlier age and when they do start talking they generally speak very well!

Discipline

As far as discipline goes I am a firm but fair caretaker. I do not tolerate things such as taking toys, hitting, pushing, throwing toys or fits, talking back or disrespecting others property/feelings/personal space. I use a three step method that I use with my son and have had much success with.

* First offence: warning; explain what he/she is doing wrong and why its unacceptable

* Second offence: time-out (one min for every year in age)

* Third offence: time-out and loss of privilege

Of course the majority of the time the need for disciplinary action can be avoided by providing an environment that keeps their minds and hands busy with educational activities.
