<p>My name is Edna, but&nbsp;people call me Tapiwa. I come from a small country in south east Africa called Malawi (the warm heart of Africa). I traveled to the United States in search of opportunities to better my life and also to broaden my horizons. I have been in the United states for more than 6 years and I have spent the majority of that time caring for children. In the process of it all, I found the love of my life and got married, he has been a big support to my goals and aspirations. He understands that I find most joy in dealing with children. I knew from a very young age that I love children. I am happiest when I am hanging out with kids. I learned of my love for kids as I was known in my neighborhood as someone who gets along very well with children.</p> <p>As I have gained experience in the field of childcare I have learned how pivotal the development of a child is to the adult that they will become. The habits and world view that you instill into children lasts a lifetime, so in a way my work is more important than people care to think. My personality is finely tuned to deal with children of all types. I am patient, forgiving and understanding, but most importantly I have great interpersonal skills. My committment is to respect everyone, child and adult alike. I will always do all in my power to satisfy my clients and provide peace of mind so that wherever they are, they know that not only are their children safe, but they are also being well attended to. I am time concious and make it a priority to adhere to the standards of anyone that I work with to ensure satisfaction. As a vivacious young lady I have all the energy and motivation I need to keep up with even the most motivated kids. My reputation speaks for itself, I am a loyal and hard worker. Loving children makes what I do the most rewarding experience.</p>
