Daisy’s Bio
Hello! My name is Daisy and I am committed to making a difference in the lives of children and families! I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor's degree with major in Social Welfare and a minor emphasis in Early Childhood Education. I am bilingual (Spanish-speaking) and bicultural. I have spent ten years in the Bay Area where I have had the opportunity to grow academically, personally, and professionally.
For the past seven years, I have been working in direct services as a social worker serving children and families from diverse socio-economic status and ethnic backgrounds and have gained considerable experience. With a wide range of experiences, I feel I have the ability to provide emotional support, understanding, and hope in my work with children, families, and elderly. I have worked directly with: supporting recreational activities for elderly at senior center and providing them information and referrals to local resources, children with special needs and their families (I am very familiar with therapies for developmental support, IFSPs & IEP process); providing individuals and families crisis intervention services due to loss of housing, changes in income, limited financial resources, mental health difficulties; and pet sitter as well.
My professional interests are in supporting early and older stages of life with emphasis on: infancy-elementary years, elderly, families, and mental health. I believe that my experiences, skills, and strengths are transferable across settings. I am a dynamic caregiver and nanny! Will provide best care for your family member & child/ren! You can count on me like...1-2-3!
A little bit more on me...I was raised in Southern California and I am the first in my family to have had the opportunity to pursue higher education. I have a great connection with elderly, little ones a.k.a children, and mothers. In my own time, I enjoy spending time at cafes writing/reading and helping those around me. I love dogs-big or small-they uplift my spirit. I do pet sitting.
