I am looking for part time work with children. I have an Associate Teacher Certificate, 3 degrees (in Business and Communications) and have worked with children for nearly half my life in some capacity. Most recently, I worked after school for a family with two children as a part time Nanny in the following areas: picking up from school, driving to extracurricular, activities, light housekeeping, bath, preparing meals and snacks, taking to other places such as parks and play date facilitator. Also I worked for Alameda Parks and Recreation for over 16 years with toddlers to school age children. I do not have children of my own but I am the best Auntie in the world! I know the importance of mixing play with learning and am willing to adhere to any schedule of activities you would like your child to participate in. I am easy to get along with Read more and find that kids love me but also respect me as an authority very quickly because of my warm and caring demeanor. I look forward to meeting you and your family and finding out if it is a right fit. *My only issue is I am allergic cats, I am fine with any other pets.
