A little bit about me
I am Shakeera Alexander; I have been caring for children Professionally for 5 Years. I’m adaptable to different household environments. I'm excellent at multitasking and managing more than one child at a time. I'm very energetic and sensitive regarding others’ needs and friendly towards children. I'm very mature, nurturing, dependable, honest, punctual, and trustworthy. In my past experiences I have looked after all the children’s activities while the parents were away. I have established great relationships with children by creating well balanced games and activities, so that the children could learn and still have fun at the same time. I have prepared meals for children, and made sure that they have gotten their meals on time. I have maintained a safe filled environment for the children. I also have made sure that before I leave my job that I cleaned up the designated areas that the children and I would mostly be in. {Ex. Living Area, Play Rooms, Kitchen.}
