Diana S., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Diana, and I am a fully qualified Early Childhood Educator with several years of experience supporting children and families. Working with families is more than a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love and value. My passion for childcare began at a young age while assisting my mother, who served as a nursery leader at our church. Over the years, I supported infants and older children in classroom settings, and I continue to serve in children’s ministry today. Professionally, I worked as a nanny for one family for four years and have provided childcare support for multiple families. I later worked in a licensed daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children. During this time, I earned my Early Childhood Education units and was promoted to Lead Infant Teacher. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting homeschooling by assisting with daily routines, age appropriate learning activities, homework help, and creating a structured yet nurturing learning environment.While I loved working in a classroom setting, I am currently continuing my education and working toward my long-term goal of opening my own daycare. At this stage, I am seeking a lower-paced, family-focused environment where I can provide individualized, attentive care and fully dedicate my time and energy to one family.

Robbyn S., Child Care in Valley Center, CA 92082 with 48 years of paid experience

Caring for children of various ages, personalities, intelligence levels, and health conditions has become a lifestyle for me over the years. Helping young people on a close up and personal basis has provided them with the care they need while providing me with a sense of purpose and intrinsic enjoyment. Helping to raise three children over a 16 year period yielded me many experiences and has equipped me with various skills to include: diapering, bathing, grooming, bottle feeding, cooking, serving meals, light housecleaning, laundry, shopping, lunch packing, scheduling the children's appointments and activities, assisting with homework, driving children to and from school, after school activities, to their doctor and dental appointments, sports activities, and social functions, etc. More detailed experience includes full infant care, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, dispensing medications as instructed by the parents, teaching bike riding, swimming, phonetic reading, playtime at the park and beach, singing songs together, picnics, play dates, instructing children in crafts (such as Easter egg dying), teaching budgeting for children with their allowances, how to write thank you letters, teaching pet care, and how to wrap gifts. Have homeschooled students through grades 1-12 with hands-on teaching as well as establishing a home school with the state of California and overseeing an independent high school study program. Experience prepping middle school and high school students for theater auditions, procuring musical instruments/lessons, and finding instructors for children to expand their skills in such things as surfing, voice training, Cotillion, table manners, dog training, drivers' education, etc. Have planned birthday parties and sleepovers. Attended parent/teacher conferences, volunteered as a teacher's aid, and have assisted with school projects. CPR/first aid certified for 30+ years. Have volunteered as an acting instructor, intern director, makeup artist, and costume procurer, and Crew Manager for children's theater. I especially love reading to children, art projects, and helping them learn to cook and bake the foods they love to eat! Relationship building is key. There is a balance between fun, instruction, and discipline. Sharing life’s experiences, feelings, and ideas builds friendships, as well as mutual trust and respect. And of course, an occasional great big belly laugh does everybody a world of good!
