A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Selina Harb. I have been working with kids in a professional environment for over 4 years now. As of today, I’m a martial arts instructor and I have been a nanny for the same family for 4 years as well. Teaching and inspiring kids has always been a priority to me. I am CPR and first aid trained. As well as good with animals! My way of teaching is a little unorthodox. To explain myself, I love to incorporate the children’s hobbies and interests into what they are learning. I believe all kids should be treated with respect. I have taken many educational classes for the development of children’s minds and why it’s so important to do things in a certain way. Most of all, I believe all children should be free to express themselves they way they see fit. Their imagination is such a vital role in their development and if that means I have to flop like a fish or neigh as I’m giving piggie back rides, so be it! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks!

A little bit about me
I am currently looking for a college job. I am attending the University of Tennessee and majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I have worked with children all throughout high school and now in college as well. I LOVE it. I currently work at a daycare called Little Scholars in Maryville. It is super rewarding, and I hope to extent my experience to your family. I specifically work with the ages babies to 3 years old, and sometimes 4 to early 5-year-old's. I have found that I love working with children this age as they are learning a lot about themselves, and it's so special to watch them grow and find their individual voice! I am comfortable with both travel and pets.
