About Me: Hello! My name is Gigi. Born and raised here in the west San Fernando Valley, I raised two children of my own here who are both grown now and off attending college. With over 15 years of professional experience working with children, I can assure you that working in the service of children is not merely a job for me, but rather my passion above all passions. In addition to my years of experience working as a personal nanny, I have experience as a dance teacher for children ranging in ages from 3 to 12 years and have also served as activities director for Kids Kingdom, child-centered facility designed to be a place for toddlers to engage in structured recreational activities where I coordinated services and activities such as arts and crafts, dance workshops, face painting, tumbling classes, and story time. As a child care worker, I enjoy Read more sharing my passions for art and learning with children and I find it extremely rewarding to help them discover the creative genius that lives within each and every one of them. My philosophy of child care is two-fold: First and foremost, I believe that children should be actively engaged and provided with frequent opportunities to take part in creative endeavors and discovery- based learning tasks. In addition, I believe that it is important to have a routine in place that ensures the consistency and structure as necessary in order to instill into our children a sense of security as well as responsibility. Others describe me as creative, reliable, loving and responsible. As a person who is markedly maternal by nature, I have found that my passion is in sharing my knowledge and natural gifts with children, not only by helping them to discover their creative genius through crafting, creative play and exploration but also by assisting them with the development of the habits of mind that will ultimately lay the foundation for future success. I look forward to meeting you and your children!
