My name is Valerie, and I’m a dedicated childcare provider with several years of experience working with kids and teens in both home and residential settings. I’m currently a full-time psychology student, and I’ve spent the last four years working at a teen residential facility, supporting youth with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. Before that, I was a babysitter for two years for a family friend back home in Santa Barbara, which really helped shape my love for working with kids. Through all of these experiences, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and nurturing approach that helps kids feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, light meal prep, bedtime, and creating fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also CPR/First Aid trained and experienced in maintaining a safe, structured environment while still keeping things warm and engaging. I truly love building connections with children Read more and being a reliable support for families. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and learn more about your child’s needs.
