A little bit about me

Hello families! My name is Kelsey, and I'm a 28-year-old San Diego native who loves working with kids. I've spent the last 10 years gaining experience in a variety of different teaching and child development jobs. I've worked as a swim instructor and camp counselor, a live-in au pair in Madrid, a costume character/activities coordinator for a super hero-themed pediatric dentistry, a face painter, and a preschool teacher in a toddler room. While working at the preschool, I became certified as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and am currently employed as a clinical supervisor in an ABA center. I have a bachelor's degree in Human Development from CSUSM and a master's degree in Special Education (Applied Behavior Analysis) from ASU. Child development is a passion of mine and I enjoy getting to develop relationships with the families I work for. I am naturally very silly, gentle, patient, and creative. I am CPR and first aid certified and have my COVID vaccine and booster shots.

A little bit about me

Greetings & Salutations!
My name is Syd, and I have been caring for young children since I was a kid myself! I have been in the childcare field within licensed centers since 2015, and have always had a passion for being an active participant in the development of young children and providing compassionate support to ensure their success and happiness as they grow into their own little humans! I have been working as a head infant teacher at a child development center in the Fremont neighborhood for the past four years, and am now looking for an environment that allows a bit more one on one focus with the kids in my care. I'm excited to start this new period in my professional life with you and your family!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Madelynn. I just graduated nursing school and want to specialize in pediatric oncology. I love helping out parents by caring for their children and helping parents to have some time to themselves. I would describe myself as a pretty outgoing individual. I have been a camp counselor through my church for many years and have become quite good at dealing with children. I love coming up with fun little games to play, exploring the outdoors, watching movies, and making memories. If given the opportunity, I would love to help out with any housekeeping around the house, meal prepping or other light chores.
