A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kari, and I am an experienced early childhood educator with a passion for nurturing young children through hands-on learning, creativity, and exploration.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education from Murray State University, and I hold a proficiency in Special Education from University of the Cumberlands. Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong skills in:

Curriculum design tailored to developmental milestones and individual needs
Behavior management using positive guidance and evidence-based strategies
Parent communication and relationship-building rooted in trust and transparency

As a nanny, I bring the structure and professionalism of an educator into a home environment while maintaining warmth and flexibility. I believe children learn best through active play, outdoor exploration, and real-world experiences.

My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Allison and I’m currently looking for a job in child care to help me build experience with caring for someone. I’m on my way to becoming a nurse and I currently have my cna license but I’m working on my experience in order to get a job for cna which will help me become a nurse in the future. I have worked a couple of days in a nursing home caring for residents in order to develop my cna license which I now have. I’ve always loved children and pets and I love taking care of them so I figured this would be a good way to help me gain experience in caring for someone. I hope that I can use what I’ve learned and what I love to do in order to help care for your child.
