A little bit about me

I am a retired preschool teacher. I have been teaching & caring for young children for over 30 years. I had a licensed large (12) family day care for over 10 years. I taught Pre-school/ Pre K for 10years here in the Coachella Valley. I earned my AA degree in Early Chilhood from College of the Desert. I have worked as a Private Nanny, Babysitter, Tudor and Caregiver for the Elderly for the last 10 years. I can cook & I do light housekeeping, when needed. I have a family that I have been babysitting their 6 yr.old twins for over 3 years part time.
One of the twins is on the Autism Spectrum so I have experience with special needs children. Another family I have been babysitting for has a 6 yr. old & a 2 yr. old. I have been with them part time for over 5 years. I love to bring Educational & Fun activities to hold the children's interest. I love what I do & helping families is my passion.

More About Me

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

I was in charge of the Nursery/ Sunday school program for children at St. Paul in the Desert in Palm Springs for many years. I also Directed the Nursery/ Preschool program @ St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert. I enjoy helping with homework & being a tudor in Math, Writing & Reading for children in Kindergarten & First Grade. I did spend many years volunteering in the Preschool age room at The Oasis Pentecostal Church in Palm Desert. I have many families that I have babysat over the years. I owned a large family home day care where I took care of infants & toddlers for over 10 years. I taught Preschool & PreK for over 10 glorious years. I have an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education & Child development.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I have lots of age appropriate games, puzzles & art activities that I bring with me. I enjoy watching them go swimming, riding their bikes & scooters. I encourage creative activities without electronics. We play dress up, sing & paint & do lots of fun stuff!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I enjoy the privilege of being a part of a child's growth & development. Knowing that I have created a bond & a trust with each child is so rewarding. Earning the respect & trust of the parents is an important part of being a caregiver for children. I have helped lots & lots of families over the years & still help them on an "as needed" basis.

My experience with special needs children...

I am currently caring for an 7 yr. old autistic boy. I also watch his twin sister. I have been with them for over 4 years. I help both of them with their academics & we do lots of fun age appropriate activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I met the family with 3 yr. Twins, neither one of them could talk. To see how far they both have come in 4 yrs. is very rewarding.. The boy who is autistic
really started responding & even talking, I was very happy. It's been quite a journey, but so great because they both are doing so well.
