If you are looking for a full-time, experienced, reliable babysitter that will keep your kid(s) properly cared for and entertained, look no further! I truly love working with children and have been doing so for over 15 years. I'm a very reliable, responsible, organized, caring, and creative person. I started out babysitting at age 11. I have worked at 2 daycare centers, been a nanny to 3 families, and worked as a behavioral counselor for 3 years, providing support and intervention to foster and high needs children and their families. I've also been a mentor to 3 boys, ages 2, 4, and 8, and a 16-year-old girl for over a year. I have experience with children of all ages and various backgrounds. I have my BS degree in Psychology from Cal Poly with an emphasis on careers working with children. I'm also CPR and First Aid trained, as well as Read more water safety trained. My favorite part of working with children is having the opportunity to be a positive role model in their lives and helping them to learn and grow into their best selves. I love being silly with them and engaging them in outdoor activities, games, reading, and arts and crafts (which is my personal favorite), as well as other age-appropriate activities that support their academic, social, and physical development. I am currently a nanny to a 6-year-old boy in San Francisco. I have already given notice to the family that I will be leaving and moving to Sacramento in February. I've been making several trips to Sacramento recently to familiarize myself with the area prior to moving there and have been researching various child friendly activities in the area. If you're interested, please contact me. I would love to hear from you and I'd be more than happy to make a trip out to Sacramento to meet you and your kid(s). Thanks so much for your time!
