Yrs Experience

I am a stay at home Mom, and have two high school aged kids. I ran my own home daycare when the kids were little and then closed that daycare once they were a bit older as I decided to homeschool them. They now attend public school to have more interaction with their peers and are both doing great and have very solid grades. I am a singer/songwriter and my husband and I record and write music together as a hobby. I’m a very family oriented person. I have four cats and am a big animal lover. I cannot walk by a dog without saying hello and offering pets. I like helping people as much as I can and am compassionate.

I ran my own private home daycare while raising my own two children. I had five children plus my own, some were full time while others were only after school. I closed my business when I decided to homeschool my children and did that from grade school all the way to high school level. Now they are both attending public high school, so that they can be around their peers more. That leaves lots of time for me to seek employment. I have lots of experience as I’ve raised my own children and also cared for many others ranging from 6months to 10 year olds. I enjoy going for walks outdoors, doing crafts and colouring, can help with homework for older children, reading together, and taking an interest in their favourites activities. I’m comfortable with most pets also, so long as they are friendly.

Home School Teacher
-Compiled tailored curricula for my two children from elementary to high school level. For the elementary grades, the focus was on the core subjects such as English (including reading, phonics, writing, penmanship, grammar), Math, Science, Geography/History, Music/Art and Physical Education. Taking a relaxed, patient approach that included lots of review allowed for concepts to be retained before progressing. Physical materials and a hands-on approach was utilized for the early grades, while later that progressed to a more independent, self-reliant approach to further develop their critical thinking skills and confidence. Through time, moving towards the high school level, their abilities developed and language skills strengthened to allow for greater independent study while still having as much support as needed. Subjects such as English, Math, Science (with specific focus on either biology, chemistry or astronomy), Geography/History, Music/Art, Typing skills, and Computers were further studied while the use of online materials were introduced. -Taught different grades simultaneously and offered assistance as required. -Reviewed and graded assigned projects and completed work. -Managed daily schedule in order to complete tasks in timely manner and implemented creative ways to maintain interest levels with field trips (such as museums) or different methods of learning. -To ensure they had adequate balance, we also enrolled in activities such as swimming lessons, gymnastics, and cooking classes. They both also volunteered at Little Ray's Reptile where they got to interact with their peers, develop responsibility and learn more about various animals.

Home Daycare Provider
-Operated private daycare in my home for full time and part time clients, providing care for children between ages 6 months-12 years old. School aged children would require dropping off and picking up to and from school. Since I was located within walking distance to the school they attended we would walk and this would give the young children an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. At the end of the day we would often go to the park all together. -Ensured infants and young children had a cozy and quiet environment to have their nap. -Provided activities and outings to stimulate children and keep them occupied in a safe environment. -Did seasonal crafts and drawing with the children -Prepared healthy meals and snacks -Able to help school aged children with homework
