- Developed positive relationships with families by communicating regularly about their child's development. I created a WhatsApp group with the parents, with all daily updates and experiences, to keep the parents in the loop. Also, it's beneficial for the working professional parents to see how happy and safe their children are during the day.
- Helped develop motor skills through active playtime activities like running, jumping. I would attend gymnastic classes with the children, as well as community play groups, to assist in their development and engagement with other children, and to be in different environments.
- Assisted children in development of social, communication and problem-solving skills. Many tasks throughout a day, such as building blocks or baking, can be problem-solving for a child.
