A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Izzy Fowler. I am a sophomore at San Diego State University. I aspire to be a child psychiatrist when I am older and enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I’ve had experience with children of different ages, and I like coming up with activities that keep them engaged and learning. I’m reliable, patient, and I love building good relationships with families. I’m also comfortable helping out with routines like meals, homework, or bedtime, and I don’t mind helping out with light household tasks if needed. Overall, I want to create a positive, caring environment where kids can thrive.

A little bit about me

My name is Andrea, I have over 13 years of experience caring for children. I love making fun memories with them whether that be doing indoor activities (board games , drawing, helping with homework) or taking them
To parks etc. I’m very trustworthy mainly because I’m a overly cautious person in life and I’m ESPECIALLY cautious when I’m caring for any child. I’m also very artistic , I love sketching fashion designs and I love sharing that gift with the kids I watch , helping them create fun girly pieces of art.

A little bit about me

A bit about me: I am 33 and was born and raised here in San Diego. I’m very active and enjoy photography, being with my family, painting, practicing mindfulness, yoga and am constantly trying to improve myself mentally l, spiritually and physically.

My child care and child education experience first started working as a camp leader for a few years at the YMCA as well as multiple elementary schools. I started off in early education as an aide and I fell in love with toddlers so I went back to school to get my 12 early education units and became a teacher for 2 year olds. During the past 9 years, I have spent hours learning through in person and virtual trainings and workshops to improve my skill as a teacher and child care provider.
