A little bit about me

Hi.

This is a quick synopsis about me.

I have over 38 years of childcare experience, which includes raising my own two children and the Home Day Care that I operated for 10 years when they were young.

Recently (& still on Saturday nights) I have been Nanny to a boy & girl, now 7. and 5, since September 2015.

In addition to them, I have cared for several children ages newborn to 7 during the same time period.

I would love to hear from you.

A little bit about me

I have a passion for kids, I hope to start back school in fall for early childhood development to become a teacher. I believe that I have the patience and drive to be in this field. Since I was very young I have always wanted to be a teacher. I feel that I understand the development of children very well. For many of the children in my family I’ve worked to successfully speed up their development in terms of learning math at the age of 4, walking at 7 months, getting out of pull ups at 2 and much more.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Eli! Engaging with children has always been a passion of mine; I believe they can teach us so much about curiosity, authenticity, & love. I feel honored to have over 5 years of providing them a safe space to be themselves, while also aiding development of language, emotion regulation, & social skills.
Some of my values are compassion, flexibility, creativity, and education. Something that sets me apart is my background in musical theatre; I include acting, dancing, singing, and imagination when caring for kids (i. e. I'm GREAT at make believe). My favorite activities with kids are playing imagination games, arts & crafts, having fun outside, and anything music, of course!

I've cared for many children ages 2 months - 13 yrs old, and I have classroom teaching experience with ages ranging from infancy to high school. CPR/First Aid certified, good with pet non-smoker, drug & alcohol free. I can tutor, cook, clean, organize, & care for pets. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi there! I'm Krissy, I recently earned my bachelor's degree in liberal studies/special education at Cal State Dominguez College. I’m a kind, compassionate, and caring person born and raised in the midwest. Being the oldest of my siblings, providing care has always been a regular part of my life. I've worked as a freelance nanny for 4-5 years and have cared for kids aged 8 weeks to 18 years. I have experience with infants/toddlers and children with special needs. I spent one year and five months working at a private school. Before being promoted to a full-time position teaching physical education to elementary students, I worked as a substitute for about four months and had experience with an early learning center for infants and toddlers. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. genuinely love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.
