Hello ! my name is saphira, Ihave worked in childcare for a year and a half, supporting two different families. One family had an 11-month-old, where I focused on early development through play, sensory activities, and consistent routines. The other family had a four-year-old and a seven-year-old, and I planned engaging activities suited to their ages. I organized outdoor play, games, and nature walks to keep them active, and I led crafts that included educational themes to encourage creativity and learning. Through this experience, I built strong communication, patience, and responsibility while creating a safe, fun environment that supported each childβs growth and curiosity.
