Hi! I moved here to beautiful Palm Springs 3 years ago from Los Angeles. I am originally from Florida, where I received a Master's Degree, double major, in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and family therapy. I currently work for the Palm Springs Unified School District as a Mental Health Therapist, providing therapeutic services to students aged 5 through 18 years old. My previous experience with children includes being a Nanny, a Teacher's Assistant for a JCC Preschool for a class of 20 kids, between the ages of 2-3 years old. Needless to say, I am very good at changing diapers!! I did quite a lot of babysitting for my preschoolers' parents because of the bonds I had made on a daily basis with their children and the trust I had earned from their parents. I also have years of experience working with animals, pet sitting for many of my Read more babysitting clients furry family members! So, in addition to babysitting for your child/children I can also care for your pet(s). My current position working with children as a Mental Health Therapist is indeed my passion, so for me, it is a natural and easy transition to provide nurturing care for your child. My goals as your babysitter are simple; keep your children safe, treat them as the special little people that they are, have lots of fun with them and most importantly, provide YOU with the peace of mind you want and need when someone other than you is taking care of your family!
