Hello I'm Camilla, I am someone who deeply cares for infants and prioritize safety and well being, especially for first time parents. I help parents prepare safe, baby ready homes and recommend essential products and developmental toys. I am very conscious about maintaining proper hygiene before caring for infants and always wash my hands thoroughly. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their baby’s safety. so I take every precaution to ensure a clean and nurturing environment. With a background in nursing and music, my nurturing embraces children as early as infancy through singing and imaginative play. It is incredibly rewarding to see delicate expressions of comfort when babies recognize my songs, then hear toddlers singing my songs to becoming fully engaged when I read to them. In my spare time, I channel my creativity into writing stories, composing songs that support developmental milestones, and creating educational videos for children. Music is just one of my supportive tools to soothe and stimulate infants as well as help toddlers and young children navigate challenges like understanding boundaries, learning new skills, and facing moments of frustration. I focus on building safety awareness, self esteem, and independence whether through songs that make clean up time fun or original music that encourages them not to give up when something feels hard. By including children’s individual interests, it allows me to build a stronger connection and relationship and spark curiosity. I am confident in providing homework support and engaging children in creative arts activities. I bring a strong work ethic and can be counted on to be both reliable and dedicated. I studied Music at UCLA and bring both creativity and energy to my work with children of all ages through music. I have a true passion for teaching. After earning my Associate’s degree, I began working toward my Bachelor’s degree, building on a background that includes Music Therapy and Occupational Therapy. CPR certified and first aid certified. I stay up to date on flu shots and vaccinations. As someone who enjoys healthy eating, I’ve learned that even with fussy eaters, healthy habits can still be encouraged by turning new foods into something fun to try. I am available for both full time and part time caregiving roles, including as a mother’s helper and date nights. I am comfortable with pets and have energy to keep up with growing little ones!

Greetings! My name is Alyson Hills and I am an experienced caregiver and lover of pets and children! I am 25 years old and currently working a part-time, work from home, forms building position and looking to supplement my income post-grad as I prepare to begin my teaching career next fall. I am originally from the Bay Area, California where I completed my K-12 education. After high school graduation I followed my long-found passion for education up North to California State University, Chico where I obtained by Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a minor in Child Development. I have since moved South in search of the ocean and in pursuit of a Master's degree in Education and Multiple Subject teaching credential from Pepperdine GSEP. Excitedly, I completed my program in August! Unfortunately, post-hiring season. Although I am looking forward to becoming an elementary school teacher soon enough, I am most focused on using my education in my daily life- however that may be for now. I am well equipped with teaching methods, instructional strategies, and behavior management techniques necessary both inside and outside the classroom. Your comfort, as well as your child's comfort and safety, is my utmost concern while they are within my care. I pride myself on my creative lesson planning (activities), nurturing demeanor, and clear communication skills with both children and their families. I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience working within theater facilities, preschools, daycare programs, after school/summer camps. My most recent experience with children was over 600 hours of student teaching in a Kindergarten classroom within IUSD. I also have several experiences working as a full-time private nanny for an individual baby/toddler. For these positions I was tasked with supervising and entertaining, feeding and changing, taking the child to the park or music class, nap time and bath time, light laundry/dishes/housework and so on. I am comfortable with the typical nanny/sitter duties! In my personal time I enjoy spending as much time as I can on the beach, doing almost any kind of arts and craft (specifically building fairy houses, a sacred hobby of mine), and caring for my 5 year old Maltipoo, Bailey! I characterize myself as a creative, supportive, and reliable childcare provider- please let me know if I sound like a fit for your family or if you know of a family looking for childcare services! All the best, Aly

I am an individual with over eight years of experience in child care and also with older adults with intellectual disabilities. I am currently completing three years of work specifically with adults with intellectual disabilities, where I am dedicated to teaching how to become more independent. For example, I am committed to helping individuals learn how to obtain and maintain a job, complete volunteer hours, improve their educational skills, and maintain good personal presentation. I am also responsible for transporting individuals in my personal vehicle. One of my favorite parts of the job is actively participating in daily activities, like playing with infants, teaching them to speak their first words, or guiding them during mealtime routines. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I am friendly, reliable, and passionate about building strong connections with both children and adults. I am currently available in the afternoons and on weekends. Communication is very important to me, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to request references or to schedule a call. I am excited to continue sharing my passion and positive attitude with families, something that has brought me years of rewarding experiences.
