A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Maggie. I’m an experienced nanny with a degree in Human Development from UC Davis. My years in college were spent teaching preschool, and I have since worked as a full-time nanny for the last 3 years. My approach to childcare is informed by Magda Gerber’s principles of respectful parenting (RIE), and my time teaching yoga has informed many of the ways in which I engage with children.
The last three long-term jobs I held were as follows:
— 2 infants (3 months — 11 months) — 3 children: (2, 6 and 8 years)
— 3 children: (1, 2.5, 4)
I am friendly and confident and my energy is very calm. I would love to connect and see if we may be a good fit for each other!
Maggie

A little bit about me

Hello everybody :)) i'm lucy, a current Health Communications major sophomore at SDSU!! I have helped out at a daycare since around 13 and then at 14, got my first babysitting job and my love for kids has grown tremendously since. I am going to college to work in a pediatric hospital if that further explains my love for kiddos!! I have a lot of paid experience with newborns up to middle school ages as well as volunteer experience with all ages, as well as kids with special needs. I can speak some spanish, so I can teach some spanish words and I love cooking, it's my favorite hobby. I have my covid vaccines, have had my license for over 2 years with a perfect record, and am about to get CPR certification. I can provide references from families. I simply want to help you with your great kids and be someone in their lives that can care for them, try new fun things with them, and most of all, be someone they trust and look forward to seeing! I am comfortable with pets, and am a non-smoker!
