Hello. My name is Darcie and I am a professional childcare provider with over 20 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence. I am a reliable, hardworking, nurturing, fun and engaging childcare provider with strong self-initiative that strives to keep your child/ren entertained and safe, while helping your family live life with one less thing to do. I strive to promote curiosity, creativity, imagination, and physical activity with children. I believe giving children the freedom to play freely inside a safe and nurturing structure fosters their natural sense of discovery and love for learning. I am a lover of nature and wildlife and love playing outdoors. I love reading books and storytelling, imaginative play, getting creative with arts and crafts, singing and cooking with children. Over the last 20 years I have run an after and before school enrichment program for six years, was a social worker Read more for a year and half, and a preschool teacher at a Waldorf school in San Francisco. I have also worked privately for Bay Area families as a full-time nanny for eight years, and invested the last two years creating and operating an outdoor nature camp for children in San Francisco and Oakland. I am accustomed to working in unfamiliar environments, traveling with families, working special events such as weddings, dinner parties and fundraisers, and have great experience working with sibling groups, share-care, and infant twins. I am driven to provide high quality childcare and education to the children I am fortunate to work with. I love my "work" and can't wait to share that with you and your family! I can provide excellent references. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Darcie
