A little bit about me

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion.

With eight years of experience caring for children ages one to 11, and a current Graduate Level Social Work student, I focus on fostering growth through creative play and educational games. My background includes a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and relevant early childhood coursework, which informs my patient and calm approach to care. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or working on crafts, I love engaging children in meaningful ways. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or travel, and | always follow your lead regarding household rules. I value open communication and will provide updates in whichever format you prefer. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, reliable partner in your family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I supported students as a Teacher’s Aide and Tutor by helping with academics, language development, and creating positive learning environments. I also worked closely with families to connect them with educational and community resources, while providing guidance and support tailored to each child’s needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I planned and led engaging activities for TK students that focused on early literacy skills such as learning letters, letter sounds, handwriting, and beginning reading through games, songs, and hands-on learning activities. I also supported fine motor skill development through creative activities like tracing, cutting, coloring, sensory play, and interactive movement games. In addition, I helped lead social-emotional and mental health activities, including calming exercises, breathing wand crafts, mindfulness techniques, and other fun educational games designed to help students build confidence, self-regulation, and positive classroom interactions.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience working with children with special needs includes using de-escalation and calming techniques to support children when they become overwhelmed or overstimulated. I encouraged participation in activities that promoted independence and confidence while always maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I also helped create consistent routines that encouraged growth, familiarity, and positive daily structure for each student.

Dallyss G. - Seeking Work in Whittier

Babysitter Available in Whittier, CA: Dallyss G.

Hi! I’m Dallyss, and I absolutely love working with kids! I was a nanny for a wonderful family in 2023, where I created a fun, safe, and supportive environment and built such a meaningful bond with the kids. I also have experience as a youth cheer coach and a youth sports camp counselor from a couple of years ago, which helped me develop strong skills in keeping kids engaged, active, and confident. I come from a big family with six kids, so being around children has always been a huge part of my life, and I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels! I recently took a short break from working with kids to focus on my first year of college, and now I’m so excited and ready to jump back in doing what I love. I work well with children ages 1 and up and bring a super bubbly, positive energy to everything I do. I love planning fun activities, staying active, and creating a space where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to be themselves! 💕

Darlene R. - Seeking Work in Whittier

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Whittier, CA: Darlene R.

I am the family babysitter and have worked with all ages from infant to toddlers to preteens. I also love to cook and bake. I know how hard it is to manage your daily schedule on top of your kids schedules so I am here to help any way I can. I grew up with a single mom and I am the eldest of my siblings so I am not afraid of responsibility. I also understand how scary it can be to put your children in the care of someone else, I am confident I will care for each child as if they were my own. I took children psychology in college and it changed my entire perspective on how kids think and how they process emotions. I love to be around kids and I think you can learn a lot from them. With that being said, please consider me to help with your little ones and add an extra hand around your home.
