Hi! Im Christina (Experience Listed Below), a 30 year young Texas Certified Teacher holding a BA in Earl Childhood Education and Associates in Early Child Development. I am returning to the more personal and nurturing one on one childcare/education­ field through providing direct education and care for up to three children in my home. I am a fun loving, hands on, inspirational educator/caregiver.­ Studies have shown the most important age in a child's life developmentaly is birth to age seven. These developmental first simply cannot be ignored. I know their importance and the stimulous activities that must be adressed so that each child's beginning fosters a future to where they are able to reach their full potential in life. Through my education I am able to know and address their needs and through my love and passion for children I am more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure these proper developmental needs are addressed for your child.

I will be providing overall general lesson plans at the start of each week with age appropriate activities, and the corosponding essential developmental stage it addresses for your child. In addition to general lesson plans I will provide an IEP for each child (Individual Education Plan), these will target any specific goals we (parent/teacher) have discussed and a detailed typed out plan establishing the implementation of activies and lessons I will walk your child through step by step until these goals are reached. I will also provide daily tattle sheets in a binder for each child, addressing everything they experienced for the day from what they ate to how long and well they napped, their moods, what they enjoyed/did not enjoy, ect..as well as a weekly lunch menu. I do not own a tv because I believe it is the number one distractor from a childs (and adults) education, it impedes our ability to view education as natural, enjoyable and fun. As long as there is no tv in my home for a child to desire to be turned on, there is no longer a distraction and your child will want to be engaged in the more fun and educational activities that television can not offer.

I am highly knowledgeable and experienced with infant care (personaly with live in care of my twin nephews and 6 God children and professionaly with daycares, classes, and nanny work. You can be sound leaving a newborn in my loving and nurturing arms. I am also certified to educate children living with autisim and children functioning add, or adhd. I am more than willing to open my home to these angels as well, however due to the high demands of their educational needs I might not be able to take in all three children (depending upon their severity and functioning level) this unfortunatly would ensue a higher price of care, but would need to be discussed and evaluated before any decisions are agreed upon. I have over 20 years experience in dance, ballet, hip-hop, and theatrical therefore I will also be offering without extra cost to you an hour of dance instruction per day if interested.
.
I live in a beautiful neighborhood (RiverOaks/Midtown)­ with several nearby parks. I have an adorably charming 2 bedroom (my room/office and a beautiful nursery) home (very, very clean) above my neighbor's home day care! which is run by a very kind and sweet elderly couple who have 35 years in the buisness, and are currently careing for a total of 3 children as well . This couple is billingual and so we have teamed up to offer parents who are interested billingual/spanish­ lessons to the children in my care and dance lessons to the children in their care.

I will open my doors from 5am to 6pm M-F, and for an extra fee I am willing to work overnights when available. My weekly fee is 150 for ages 9mos to 4yrs and 200 for newborn to 8 mos. I do not consider this service a day care, it is a nanny and personal educator for your child who will love and care for your baby as my own. As I mentioned before I am only accepting three children for now to ensure one on one attention, education and care is given to these three children. The possibility of taking any more children will depend fully upon the needs and situation of my first three. I hope to hear from you soon. Christina
