More About Me

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

I worked at a daycare as a daycare assistant , teacher , food prep , cook and activity director . I supervised our sleepovers , chaperoned our field trips and outside activities and adventures . I was a tutor for 6 years as well , and worked with prekindergarten to middle schoolers . I have my own experience at home with my two children , and a supportive mother who looks after them when mommy has to work and provide and they are very understanding kids .

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

For indoors , I bring mini easel’s and paint for art sessions with the kids . I save their pictures to remember their individual uniqueness , also for the kids to make pictures for their parent’s . They like board games , memory/picture games , exercise their minds , but not over stimulate . I host movie nights , popcorn , kid movies , and snacks like a theater . The girl’s like playing with dolls creating their own imaginable scenes , music and dance parties . I bring out my childhood games , like monopoly for example . A lot of kids get lost in the internet , so as a sitter I like to remind children how to have fun without the internet and screen time , but not to completely isolate them from it . For outdoors ? I like taking the kids for walks , tag is a big one , and so is the park ! For my younger kids I like to keep them close to home so I find activities for their own backyards . I find their interest and create a way to make it fun. I’ve learned Kids love to learn if it’s fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important thing about being your nanny is providing a safe , Loving and nurturing environment for your children in my care . Ensuring physical safety , fostering a positive emotional and developmental environment , meeting and attending to basic or even challenging needs . Strong communication , trust , and a genuine passion for childcare are also essential.

My experience with special needs children...

I am most experienced with children with autism , but I have also worked with cerebral palsy , dwarfism , and other disabilities . I do have referrals from the parents of the children I have cared for , if need be . I also have a lot of knowledge when it comes to children with disabilities in which I believe makes me a great asset to parents of those in particular .

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had a very unique situation where the mother was set on her child not warming up to me , saying every single nanny she’d tried to hire the child would immediately reject the then back to back . Something told me to wing it , so I asked the mom for an empty room and a chair . It is called my secret box from a SpongeBob episode ! I had a box that I made to collect sensory and fidget toys inside . I sat in the chair , I held the box and introduced myself . The child looked at me with a short smile and stared at the box . It took about 10 minutes or so for the child to fully enter the room , but I just kept peeking in the box and closing it like it was the most interesting thing ever . The mom already hinted that he normally wouldn’t go this long without a tantrum brewing so I was in good faith . The child finally came to the box he laid his hand on it , I handed it over and he excepted with a smile . Everyday after we started with the box trick . On my last day I gave him the box !

Johanna C. - Seeking Work in Stockton

Part-Time Nanny Available in Stockton, CA: Johanna C.

Hello families my name is Johanna, ive taken a interest in nannying and babysitting ever since i was younger, maybe because i grew up with 6 younger siblings ages ranging from 10 months to 14 years old. I love to cook and clean on my free times. When im not cooking or cleaning i am working or in school i attend Delta College here in Stockton CA and i work at In N Out so ive always been an active and kind person. I love kids because they can be so funny and so smart. I can cook anything from a sandwich to soups and pastas u grew up in a hispanic household so my mom taught me lots of what i know to cook. I believe parents should always have help even when they are too scared or embarrassed to ask for it. I believe that sometimes parents just need to get away and distract themselves from their everyday life but cant because of their kiddos and i want to help out with that because i as a older sister understands my mom and try my best to help out those who need help.
