The Pregnancy Pause is here to explain the gap in my work experience that occurred due to an extended maternity break. The biggest projects worked on during this time were leading weekly meet-ups for Rancho+ Mom's group and organizing a homeschool program.For more information on The Pregnancy Pause option for Moms, or for information on why this is even necessary to include on LinkedIn, please visit: https://thepregnancypause.org/

Focusing on excellence, I provided high quality child care for 8+ private families over the course of 10+ years. I managed children’s schedules, obligations, and activities through detailed time management, problem solving and organization. I guided children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development by demonstrating model behavior, empathy, respect, and communication skills. I performed other duties such as household organization, laundry, and meal planning/preparation.

I planned attractive programing that resulted in a 275% increase in weekly participation compared to the previous 3 years. I leveraged my MS Office and similar technology skills to create program materials.

I supervised groups of 30+ children between ages 5 and 12 in outdoor activities and field trips.
