Hello! Children are impressionable from birth in ways that remain with them for life. I acknowledge the importance of this. My background is completely clean. Once hired on a few jobs I will re-invest in this site cost and carry the highest badge. I've mentored teen groups, and have raised 2 amazingly intelligent, good children. A son, and daughter. Between them I have one granddaughter out of state, and two well mannered grandsons, 2 hrs away. My son had ADHD in the early 80's, & I chose to replace Ritalin w/natural therapies. My daughter, now 25, is a cancer survivor :) I am building a sound production business from my home ProTools studio, focused in film; documentary and commercial Voiceover/music. Part time work between my own work is crucial to fulfill financial obligations at this time, so I choose fulfilling work with children. I'm trained in infant/child CPR and first Read more aid. I am constantly aware of surroundings, effects of noise, voice tone, and how children respond to me. Each mother has her own manner in how she burps, feeds, changes, bathes, plays and cradles her infant and I believe in professionally providing what is asked of me. I listen very carefully to every detail from parent/s, and follow specific requests thoroughly, as it should be. Toddlers tend to embrace my positive nurturing qualities, craft/art time, reading, singing and educational interaction. I'm computer literate and believe that art and music are crucial to a well rounded exploration of self for children. Peaceful joy, love and laughter should be the manner in which we interact with kids. I embrace trust between myself and the parents I work for with high standards and work ethics. Confidentiality is also high on my list of values. I work professionally at all times. I am emotionally healthy, live in a positive state of mind, & practice routine meditation. I do not drink alchohol aside from an occasional glass of wine at home in the evening, and I do not use drugs. I'm available immediately for the right match/s. In hiring me, you bring a safe, loving, mature caretaker into your child's life, while helping to establish my sitter reputation and fulfill financial obligations. I drive a very dependable, clean, safe 2007 Jeep Commander. If I sound like someone you'd like to meet with & discuss your needs, please contact me right away! I keep schedules stress-free. In Sincerety w/sittercity, Carla 503-718-8715
