I have a very flexible schedule during evenings and weekends and can work last minute if needed. I have two younger brothers who are 9 and 11 who I’ve babysat for years, along with various other preschool, elementary, and middle school aged children and siblings. I recently graduated college with a psychology degree where I was fortunate to learn a lot of about child development as well! I love art, music, and sports, so I can help keep your youngster entertained! I am happy to take on other tasks such as prepping meals, cleaning, transportation, and animal care. I can also help with bedtime routines and stay late or overnight if needed. I am currently a nanny/house helper from 1:30-5:30 M-F for a San Carlos family with a 3, 6, and 8 year old, so I am available outside that time block. I look forward to hearing from you!

I ran 43 daycares for 16 years on the East Coast and was a nanny both in Maryland and in California after the selling of the daycares. I have also taught swimming, art, and dance to young children. I developed the curriculum for the daycares and trained the teaching staff. I have worked with thousands of children over a long career and still receive Christmas cards for children that are now in high school and college. I have over 2000 hours of Early childhood education and am a member of multiple teaching websites and stay up to date on current changes and teaching methods. I have been certified in CPR and first aid for years and have used it successfully in an emergency situation. I completed a class in CPR and First aid in May 2020 at the College of San Mateo and have been certified for many years. I am up to date on current trends such as Baby-led weening and other new techniques. I maintain a log so that the parents know what is happening with their young children. The log includes food and milk intake, diaper activity, nap length, and any observations that need to be passed on. I also take children to parks and pools or other activities. I am vaccinated and Covid careful. I also have multiple references from my past nanny positions. I have a pre-school and art program that I have developed and use currently. I enjoy working with children and building their confidence using music and art. I like to include active learning exercises that keep the children engaged. Singing is a constant part of my day-to-day interaction with the children I care for. I have 5 large Rubbermaid containers filled with games, art supplies, pre-school lessons and a storyboard with many different stories. All geared to develop confidence and build their learning capabilities. My rate is based not only on the market rate but hours and needs. When you hire me you are getting a professional that also becomes part of the family. I am currently looking for a position that is no less than 20 hours and no more than 40 hours a week. If you would like to hire me but don't have a total of 32 hours I am open to a salary amount that pays at the 32-hour rate when under the needed hours. I request five days of paid sick leave, two weeks of paid vacation the first year. Guaranteed salary based on the minimum hours. If this is something that you agree with I look forward to hearing from you.

I am the ultimate babysitter because I am a mother myself! If anyone knows what kids love, It's me. I know how to cook, play pretend, play tag, hide and seek, visit the local swimming pool, swim, teach swimming, read favorite books, take lots of pictures, bird watch, go on day trips, visit museums, the zoo and the list goes on. Being a kid at heart really helps to connect with children. I rarely meet a child who doesn't like me!

I have ten years of experience caring for children. I have a passion for this work because I know how important it is to support children during their most formative years, being a mother myself. I want families to feel like I am there for them and there for them to feel comfortable with me. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss my experience and how it would fit in to accommodating your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
