Summer Childcare
Description
Hello!
My name is Tim,
I'm 20 and currently in college to become a social service community worker, at the time that I'll be looking for families to help I'll be halfway to graduating and plan on working with kids after I graduate, that being said I'm looking to gain more experience during the summer break (April - August) to hopefully have a more descriptive background for when i enter the feild,
im a very creative and happy-go-lucky person who wants to be sure that all people around me are having a positive excitement filled day. I have about 6 years of experience working with kids of all ages in private settings and in daycare settings but this will be my first time doing so in my home, the biggest thing is that my number one priority is safety for all,
if there isn't safety there isn't fun. Period
I'm looking to explore different leads and theories for mentally happy,physically active and more hands on childcare practises that i have been learning while in school, this includes child-led learning,
for example children will be learning life skills based on their development phases,
from group cooking (age appropriate) to imagination-based play, fun adventures out to parks/trails/museums/pools etc. Sensory games, crafts and more, Anything is possible as long as it's safe/achievable (within reason)
I gave the name Tiny Paws childcare for the reason that I have a vision to encourage children to have a gentle,caring and curious view on the world and the best way I see this happen is to allow children to explore animals, their care, how to handle them properly, and how they live their lives, I am very cautious with our animals and wont let a child hold/touch an animal if I dont think they have the fine motor skills to do so without harming the animal, that being said I am willing to take steps to get them there!!
We have the following pets
-Cats
-Rats
(babies and adults, children will get to see the development of baby to adult rats and learn about life development)
(they are in seprate room for thoes who are uncomfortable by them)
-Bearded dragon
-Hermit crabs
-Fish
We use all of these to show different aspects of life, we exsplore where they come from, how they live in the wild and how we try to replicate that in our home.
**They are all securely locked/placed in spots where children don't have access to without supervision, we take safety of everyone in the home**
We explore different habitats and visit places that may mimic that environment,this could be at a nearby trail, a pond, at one point id even like to get a zoo trip planned
This is just the basics! We have something for everyone, We take pride in making lesson plans for the week and making sure to always have something new or exsiting planned.
