Hello!I take a gentle approach to life and to the people around me. I value LGBTQIA+ rights and culture, inclusive and equitable education,diversity, creativity, respect, empathy, following your curiosities and passions, and setting your own pace. Itβs because of this that Iβve always found success and enjoyment working with children. Iβm not an intimidating person and I know it, so I often take an approach with children that walks them through identifying their emotions and responses rather than scolding. I believe this approach respects a childβs autonomy, fosters emotional intelligence, and encourages them to ask questions and open up further when theyβre know they wonβt be yelled at. That being said, I will hold your child to (reasonable) expectations which will include following your rules, following my rules, playing safe, and being respectful (among others).Qualifications: 1.) Iβve worked with boys ages 9-12 and 10-13, 12-13, and 16-17. 2.) Iβve worked as a nanny for three years and a paraeducator for two. 3.) Every child Iβve worked with has had significant improvement in behavior and mood as noted by their families and teachers. 4.) I have knowledge in both psychology and special education, and recently took a parenting courseβthis has granted me an understanding that each child is unique in their needs and I aim to validate them all. My specific experience is with ADHD, ASD, cerebral palsy, anxiety, and depression. 5.) Iβve got varying levels of experience in supporting students with English, math, science, and history from the 3rd-11th grade. However, Iβm not above saying, βI donβt know,β and then walking your child through the process of effectively researching the answer so we can learn together. 6.) Iβm a psychology major through an online university enabling me to work on your schedule! 7.) I have some experience in American Sign Language, I used to be fluent. If this applicable to your family, I will gladly brush up on those skills.Thank you!

I'm 21 years old and currently studying Child Development in college. My days are usually fueled by either coffee or matcha, and I speak both English and Spanish. I'm also pregnant with my first baby, which has me extra motivated to earn more so I can give my little one the best start in life. I've been working at an afterschool program for about three years now, and I really enjoy it. I work with kids age 5-14 years old. There's something so rewarding about working with kids and helping them learn and grow, and I have my own car for getting around.

During the summer while home from college, I provided reliable babysitting services for my neighbors' children. I supervised daily activities, ensured a safe and positive environment, prepared snacks and meals, and helped with homework and educational activities when needed. I organized creative games, outdoor play, and age-appropriate entertainment to keep children engaged and active. I communicated regularly with parents regarding schedules, activities, and any concerns.

Thanks for your interest!I have over six years of experience, and Iβm dedicated to providing a safe and engaging environment for children of all ages. My goal as your child care provider is to give you peace of mind. So you were able to focus on your date night or daily tasks at work. I provide regular updates during the sit. It could be a video of them enjoying the slide, a picture of them eating lunch, or a simple text update. My experience as a child care provider started with individual families . Mostly after school care. Then I work for an agency in San Francisco. At that agency, some families I only saw once, and some families booked me regularly. For date night, after school care, day excursions (such as visiting museums), or or to help mom run some errands.I am reliable and experienced. I hope to hear from you soon!
