Looking for: Any nanny or babysitting work, with the ultimate goal of finding a long-term nanny position with a single family or nanny share. Available all hours- scheduled or short notice. I’d like to eventually move very close to the family I work with and be on call for them outside my normal hours. Philosophy: Children act out due to confusing emotions and an inability to be understood. I strongly believe helping them through this is much healthier and developmentally progressive than yelling or spanking- which I refuse to use. . Your child is an intelligent little sponge that is always learning and I will use play, music, and reading to help them explore the big world waiting for them. I love taking children to the park, story time at the library, the zoo, and anywhere else they can learn and be active. I usually discourage screen time but will Read more follow your lead. Experience: Off and on childcare since I was 10, from helping doctors all day when they were on call to babysitting children with emotional issues to volunteering at the Pacific Science Center. Most recently I was an afternoon nanny for a toddler who has now started preschool. Certified in Infant/Child CPR & First-Aid. About Me: Aside from childcare, I have always worked in and loved customer service, including seven years at Half Price Books. I can no longer stand nonstop for eight hours, so I started taking business classes. On my off hours I was the on call carer for my neighbors’ daughter, and realized nothing I could go to school for would bring me more joy than nannying. The little girl became the light of my life. Now that she is in preschool and my services are no longer needed, I’m looking for another family with which to build a strong relationship. I am a non-smoker, proactive, flexible, reliable person, and I'd love to meet you to see if my personality fits your needs.
