I have also previously been a Toddler and Preschool Aide, as well as a Third Grade and First Grade Aide. I also have experience babysitting. In my free time I enjoy making seed bead jewelry and macrame accessories. I also enjoy doing arts and crafts, as well as hiking/exploring.

A little bit about me

My name is Sterling and I was born and raised in SF! I am currently working as a full-time nanny, and specialize in caring for infants between the ages of 2-12 months. I enjoy utilizing Montessori methods through play-based learning, and am knowledgeable on the topic of baby-led weaning + sleep training as well. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, and have also nannied for sets of twins.

My goal pertaining to the children I work with, is to foster as much confidence + independence that I can within them. I recently began studying RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) and implement those tools with the infants that I am working with. I also enjoy utilizing baby ASL, as a way to foster independence and communication between myself, and the child that I am working with.

I would love to hear what you are looking for in a potential nanny/ sitter and see if we'd be a good fit!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a senior at SFSU majoring in child development. I have experience as a full time preschool teacher (teaching and working with children in general is my passion) and I absolutely utilize my knowledge in Early Childhood Education in my time spent with children. Aside from teaching preschool, I also have experience as a nanny for children ages 2-13. Some of my nannying duties have included helping the children practice tracing and writing their letters and numbers, assisting them in putting together fun puzzles, making sure they get plenty of outside time when the weather is nice, as well as preparing dinner, bath time , and I’ll always make sure to leave the kitchen and other areas used cleaner than I found them. I look forward to any future opportunity! Thanks so much for reading! :)
