Experience: 3 yrs
I'd describe my personality as fun and outgoing. I like working with kids because they are a lot of fun! I love the way the smallest thing is so exciting to them. I'm looking for a job that is short term. I'm not looking for a consistent part-time position. I started working with children In my 20s I worked at a preschool, and cared for infants for one family in my home. In my spare time, what is spare time? No I'm just kidding. I like to read and do research and watch movies. One thing you should know about me is I don't believe in letting babies cry. I have been a foster parent and I'm able to care for children with mild special needs. I am caring and compassionate with children. I understand that they are learning. Children making mistakes does not bother me because that's what they're supposed to do . I like to foster independence and children as much as possible, but not causing them to feel alone and unsupported and I insist on good manners.

Tameka B. is a baby whisperer, and the best caregiver we have ever had. She treats our 2-year-old and 6-month-old as if they were her own. She arrives early each morning with a can-do attitude and has lots of wonderful ideas to keep the children engaged. She sings to them, reads books to them, plays with them, and puts them down for naps with loving care. She is 100% attentive to them and all of their needs. The children run into her arms the second they see her and her hugs and healing hands have made many imaginary boo boos disappear. Tameka is also attentive to the needs of the rest of the family. When I got pneumonia, she was heating up soup for me and putting clean laundry away so that I could rest. If she sees something that needs to be done, she does it without hesitation. She is a loving fairy Godmother. If you can work with Tamika, do so, knowing that you and your family will be in good hands.
