Seljan, babysitting a Padova

My approach to childcare is deeply rooted in my academic training in Child and Adolescent Psychology, where I completed my Bachelor’s and am now pursuing my Master’s degree in Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology. For me, babysitting transcends simple supervision; it is an opportunity to serve as a knowledgeable, intuitive, and active mentor dedicated to nurturing a child’s emotional, cognitive, and social development at every stage .Clinical Psychological Insight: My prior experience working as a Psychologist with children in my home country provides a profound advantage. I don't just react to behavior; I seek to understand the underlying emotional need—whether it is frustration, sadness, or a need for connection—behind the actions. This allows me to utilize positive discipline techniques that set clear boundaries while fostering the child’s ability to self-regulate and develop empathy.
Advanced Academic Foundation: My ongoing master's studies keep me current with the latest, evidence-based psychological and developmental strategies. This commitment to learning means the activities I introduce are always tailored to maximize your child's potential according to their specific age and individual characteristics, ensuring I am a true educational and developmental aid.
Multilingual Fluency: I am fluent in both Turkish and English. This fluency allows me to create a naturally multilingual environment, supporting early language acquisition and seamlessly integrating cultural diversity through stories and songs.My activities are designed to be more than just time fillers; they are structured to be developmentally stimulating and built upon psychological principles.
Emotional Literacy: I use tools like role-playing and emotion charts to help children identify, name, and appropriately express their feelings. We work on social scenarios to practice empathy and effective communication.
Cognitive Growth: For older children, I introduce problem-solving challenges and puzzles.For younger ones, I focus on sensory play and constructive activities with blocks that boost logical thinking, planning skills, and attention span.
Secure Attachment: Above all, I prioritize creating a safe and accepting atmosphere. By responding sensitively to your child's cues, I help build the secure attachment base critical for future emotional stability and exploration.
