A little bit about me

Hello parents!

My name is Rakira,

I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. With five years of experience caring for children, I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I can care for up to 10 children of all ages and am comfortable following the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. I have experience as a nanny and preschool teacher

I love to refer to myself as a triple threat; teaching, nannying and cooking! I specialize in lesson planning different activities, cooking meals and providing nurturing care.

I have First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework.

I believe in making a positive impact on children's lives, and I'm excited about the opportunity to do so as your childcare provider. I'm confident that I can provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment!

I have a background check, certifications and plenty of references!

My experience with special needs children...

As a former lead preschool teacher, I had the privilege of working closely with children of varying abilities, including those with special needs. My role required me to create an inclusive and nurturing environment where every child could thrive, regardless of their developmental challenges. I tailored lesson plans to meet the unique needs of each child, incorporating sensory play, adaptive activities, and visual aids to enhance engagement and learning.

Collaboration was a significant part of my role. I worked closely with parents, therapists, and support staff to develop individualized strategies that supported each child's growth. I also gained experience in implementing behavior intervention plans, using positive reinforcement techniques, and fostering communication skills through sign language and visual schedules.
