| After being with the children more than two years, I have realized that they should spend as much time as possible interacting with other people, especially other children of the same age. I believe that this kind of socialization is important for their social development. Because of this, I sometimes take them to the library where they can learn new things, share their opinions. The library has art classes and story times which I signed them up for because they love drawing, painting, and listening to the stories. I also take them to music and movement classes where they can sing and dance. I think experiences like these are necessary for their emotional development. The children need both social and emotional development in order to grow up into good people.
Before I became an au pair, I had the experience taking care of my cousins and three months of experience working at a childcare center. I learned how to take care of children and how to keep them happy. I recently completed a two year contract with an international au pair program and have had two years of full time child care experience and would love to work as a live-out nanny in the Philadelphia area while attending school.
I am responsible, patient, active, friendly, and honest. I love children and can keep them happy. I think childhood is a very important stage of life and that children need someone who can take care of them and help them in body and mind.
