I am seeking a new family to nanny for. I have been a career nanny for about 10 years. I recently located to the East Bay area from San Diego, CA. I am currently pursuing an associates in child development, and have a 4-year-old daughter. I specialize in infants and toddlers, and enjoy watching them grow and develop and do my best to help them thrive. I enjoy teaching them independent play and self sufficiency, and incorporate arts and crafts, music, puzzles, pretend play. I also potty train, and depending on your comfort level, will teach them some basics in the kitchen as well. I prepare food for the child, clean up after what we use throughout the day, and do children's laundry and put it away as well. Any additional duties can of course be discussed. I will get down on the floor and play with them. I get Read more on their level and discuss emotions and the reasons for rules so that they can understand instead of feeling like they lack control.
