My love for Childcare began while my parents traveled extensively in my teen years which required me caring for my twin brothers. I've done volunteer work in the middle east for seven years as a babysitter for refugee parents (Age range from newborn-12 years old). I grew up in a culture and family that placed a high emphasis on family values and children. Hello! Thank you for considering me. I have roughly 7 years of experience babysitting and 2-3 years in part time nannying children ages 2-10. I’ve also done Sunday school teaching for a couple years with various ages and had one internship at a Montessori school. I don’t have any certified experience but am always trying to learn and intrigued in how to help children grow and develop exceptionally. I’m a big advocate of very clean, organic, non toxic living for children and myself and try to apply Read more that in my nannying. I try to push for very little screen time and more towards things that are mentally stimulating! For my responsibilities I would say I believe it’s my role to fully clean up after the children during my hours, their belongings, and keep them clean. And I try to learn what parenting, sleeping, and discipline style, etc the parents have decided on and try to educate myself on that so their “parenting” from adults is similar wether with me or with you! Additionally, for a small extra fee I offer to plan educational activity for your child daily according to their developmental stage and needs you communicate! I'd love to help out and serve your family! I also have experience taking care of dogs as I have my own doodle and can also speak Farsi, Turkish, and Spanish if needed!

Professional, kind, communicative, and I could go on and on. She worked with my schedule and respected my parenting style. My son was a bit shy with her at first but she was patient with him and he started warming up quickly. You will not regret hiring Golestu and I will continue to work with her!
