About Me Hello! My name is Kelly Harvanchik, and I bring over 22 years of dedicated experience in early childhood care and education. My passion for working with children began at age 11 when my younger sister was born; helping my mother care for her sparked a lifelong love for child development that ultimately shaped my career path. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from California State University, Northridge. Professionally, I spent 20 years as a preschool teacher supporting children ages 3 to 5, alongside 2 years leading after-school and summer camp programs for school-age kids. Outside of my career, I have been happily married for 30 years and am a proud mother to three children (ages 26, 24, and 17). Certifications & Transportation * AHA Heartsaver Certified: Fully certified through the American Heart Association in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR AED, as well as First Aid.

Available for daily school drop-offs and pick-ups, sports practices, enrichment classes, and medical appointments. * Family Support & Active Care: Happy to assist with daily errands, household logistics, outdoor activities, and neighborhood walks. * Pet-Friendly Home Care: Completely comfortable with friendly pets (dogs, cats, etc.) and have no animal allergies. Key Qualifications & Experience * Preschool Educator (20 Years): Expert in milestone tracking, structured early learning, social-emotional development, and age-appropriate creative play for 3- to 5-year-olds. * Camp & After-School Leader (2 Years): Skilled at guiding group activities, assisting with homework, and keeping school-age children actively engaged. * Educational Background: B.A. in Early Childhood Education (CSUN). * Personal Foundation: Raising three children of my own, giving me a deep, practical understanding of family dynamics, safety, and parent expectations.
