A little bit about me

Hi,
my name is Taylor I grew up in New Hampshire and have lived all over for the past 8 years as an outdoor guide. I have recently relocated to the San Diego area. I currently started going back to school online part-time to finish my bachelor's degree in social work. I love working with children and have spent the past year working with adolescents in the wilderness setting as well as in the classroom teaching social emotional learning to 6th-8th graders. I would love to work with a family who is interested in social emotional learning as well supporting creativity and outdoor adventures.

OPEN SCHEDULE-
Watch your child /children here with my 4 year old son who loves play dates -Hello!
Thank you for taking a moment to see more about me, my name is Sienna Bates.

I am available all through out the day however I am open to talk about schedule and hours. I am also open to going to your house, if of course you don’t mind my son coming along, but I would prefer to watch your child/children here at the comfort of my home. I live down the street from an amazing park and around the corner from another park that my son loves to go to. I love going on walks and taking time to teach children. I use flash cards, sensory theme toys, and blocks for counting. I have more than enough toys for my son and your children to play and share with. If interested please text me:) [phone number hidden] I live by sdsu college area

For a live-in position I can start almost immediately and a live-out position I can start the beginning of January 2020. Seeking at least a year long commitment. I have worked with children ages newborn-12years in a certified childcare facility in Oregon as well as babysitting all ages since the age of 15. Please reach out if you’re interested in talking with me about a position. Thank you!
