Stefanie T., Babysitter in San Lorenzo, CA 94580 with 13 years of paid experience

Since I was in the second grade I have known that I wanted to work with children.  I strongly believe that children deserve the best environment and role models to foster their development.  I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and caring for children is a passion of mine; as children should have the best possible influences in order to become successful citizens of the future.  With the aid of my education, focusing on child development and behavioral psychology, I believe I can foster the type of environment that is nurturing and encourage a child’s mental and social development.  I have many unique skills as I have tutored children diagnosed with Autism, helping them learn daily living, speaking, peer interaction, and play skills. I have taken two semesters of American Sign Language at the University level. I have studied abroad in Europe and consider myself a cultured and open minded individual.  I have experience as a Nanny for a family with an infant and a toddler as well as for a family with two children ages 6 and 9. (please see child care info). I have worked for the Palo Alto Unified School district as a teacher aide for special education preK-5 grade, as well as at Edgewood Center for Children and Families (non public school and group home). I also have held nanny positions for an infants, toddlers and school age children.   I have experience cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, and projects, as well as playing games and making my time with children enjoyable and fun. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with B.A. in psychology. I am a recent graduate with a MS in Occupational Therapy focusing on working with children with special needs, behavioral management, sensory processing skills, fine and gross motor skills. I am well organized, hard working, have managed the family budget in regards to grocery shopping, running errands, taking children on play dates to the zoo etc. I do well under pressure and with multitasking, I am a team player, flexible and a person of integrity.  I look forward to speaking with you about how I can contribute to your family’s future. Sincerely, Stefanie Thompson

Patricia  S., Babysitter in San Lorenzo, CA 94580 with 8 years of paid experience

I have many years of experience babysitting various age groups and I have taught science summer programs to ages 5-18. I also have a daughter, graduated from college. I raised my daughter to be involved in extra curricular activities, e.g., photography, sports, tutoring and play dates. So, I understand the challenges of a work life balance. I believe I can provide a caring, creative, educational environment that helps children thrive and become the best people they can be. I currently hold a BS in Biology and studied Masters in Forensic Science. I work in the field of compliance, and I would like to fund my Compliance exam that’s why I’m seeking additional employment. I will do my best to create a nurturing and engaging environment for your child. My Spanish and Portuguese speaking skills are a little rusty, but I may be able to assist with basic Spanish homework. My standard childcare rate is $20 per hour * This includes childcare, entertainment or homework supervision, following basic daily routines, standard meal prep and cleaning any “mess” we make as a result of babysitting. *Additional services can range for up to $40 per hour. Rates beyond $20 account for additional services and requests, e.g., household chores, tutoring, extensive services required for disabilities and pet care. ** I am respectful of allergy concerns, please be aware that I consume peanut products and I own a dog.** I have served as a “Course Life Assistant” to college students on ecosystem and field study trips in Central America. In this capacity, I was responsible for offering basic first aid and CPR, if needed. Although I have been CPR certified. I have driven kids to school and sports via Zum and Hopskip drive (driving kids apps).
